[FEATURE REQUEST] Please add several additional CNC file extension types. #300

Some default file types (ie extensions) of CAD/CAM (ie, GCode) files are not listed in the Files panel/Extensions list. Thus download will not show them by default and, if downloaded, they aren't marked with the Play file icon.

Specifically, the extensions are .ngc - used by F-Engrave and .cnc used by several CAD/CAM tools.

Please add ;cnc;ngc to the end of the text in the Extensions box of the ESP3D Interface panel in Settings.

The alternative is for each user to manually add these extensions to the list and click on refresh. This will happen after they come here, possibly post a bug report that WebUI can't find their files and get told what to do.

luc-github commented 1 year ago

what version are you using?

phil-barrett commented 1 year ago

3.0.0-a30.GH2

Sure, I can add them to mine but I was hoping that it gets in the release version so all the users wouldn't need to do it, too. The process they will go through is:

look to upload their gcode file
not see it. complain or maybe figure out that they need to use All Files (.)
upload the file
see that it doesn't have the Play icon next to it. complain.
get told to add the extension and refresh.

That's a good question. I've used around 10 different CAD/CAM tools so not that many considering how many are out there. I can not say which are safe to drop. There is, literally, no standardization out there. And, to make it worse, some CAD/CAM apps allow users to pick file extensions in their POST configuration code. Yuck.
