More Options Scale in percent? #31

Open PPPBerlin opened 2 years ago

Hi! I use your plugin for a while now. I print custom costume parts that often needs to be scaled. Most of the time I forgot the scale of the last print. Is it possible to add the scale in percent to the postfixes?

How should this work with multiple models on the buildplate?

It would be nice even if it was for only 1 factor like printing dragons or something like a scale x or something

Don't know if this is still even considered but you could have a couple of options for this. Usually I do batch prints of the same general scale so pulling the percentage from the first file added is one option. The other is to have a range of percentage for example 60-80_file-name_postfix. I just recently grabbed this extension in hopes of being lazy and it did help with my postfix.

Currently I personally just add the percentage prefix when I set the percentage on my file. If I have multiple different percentages I often will break up the file name and make a short note on what models are what percentages which is why pulling the percentage from the first file would be a viable option if Cura would enable you to use that information. (Example of a print I did: 60_SkeleKnight-Astro_50_SkeleHands_132g)
