Where to put target temperatures? #1

This would neatly solve a problem for me, with several gcode files that are used repeatedly but for different filaments. I can set the key temperatures but where would I set the target temperatures to be used as substitutes?

There should be a new tab in the main panel alongside the Temperature / Control / Gcode Viewer tabs that lets you set the temps.

If it's not showing up then it's a bug. I haven't touched this plugin in a long time, mostly just because it's been working fine for me.

Michael, thank you for replying, and very quickly at that.

Yes, there's a new tab - screenshot attached. I assumed (incorrectly?) that that's where I set the key temperatures which the plugin looks for, and that there should be someplace to put in the target temperatures I want to replace those with. Or is it the other way around? I saw mention in the code of a materials.yaml and other files. Should they be populated somehow? Capture

Ah yeah, what your looking at is the target temperatures. Change those whenever you want to change your actual print temps. The key temps are set by opening up the Settings page, and there should be a new listing in the sidebar.

Aha! I should have looked there, of course. Gotcha, now this is really useful. Thank you!
