[Feature Request]: Support Upload Monitoring without Print #267

Closed jbienz closed 2 years ago

jbienz commented 3 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. This is similar to #248.

Describe the solution you'd like I regularly upload a file then do several tweaks in OctoPrint before actually hitting print. This can be changing spools with SpoolManager or setting various things in OctoLapse. I would still very much like to have my printer warm up and my lights turn on the moment I upload, even though I'm not ready to print just yet.

Describe alternatives you've considered The alternative right now is to manually turn on the printer and lights.

Additional context No additional context. I understand the reason it was designed the way it currently is, but I'd really appreciate an option that says whether "print immediately" is required. Thank you!

So basically power on with upload but only start print if the option is enabled?

jbienz commented 3 years ago

Yes, power on devices with upload regardless of whether the "Start printing after upload" box is checked in Prusa or Cura. I almost never check that box because it bypasses other plugins. For example, if that box is checked in Prusa or Cura then SpoolManager doesn't get a chance to ask me if I have the right spool selected. So I will personally probably never have that box checked, but others may still prefer to use it.

I would find this useful as well, so that my light comes on and I can verify the bed is clear before I start printing.

I'd also love to have it turn on immediately upon uploading a file, regardless of the decision to print. Thanks for this awesome plugin!
