Storing Gcode Files with 8.3 Filenames

[GeorgZiegler]

Version

Prusa Slicer 2.1

WIN10

Marlin 2.0 with seperate ESP01 ESP3D WebUI

Behavior

• For Downloading via ESP3D WebUI's to printers SD Card, the ESP3D WebUI excepts only 8.3 Filenames ( Old MsDos Style ). e.g. MYPRINT.GCO is ok, while MYPRINT_1234.GCODE won't work.
• So to prevent the User to do a manual annoying renaming of the Gcode File, it would be a nice feature, if there would be a checkbox in the Slicer Settings 'Save as 8.3 Filename' So the default extension is changed to e.g. .GCO and the Filename is e.g. cut to first 8 Characters, Non ASCII Characters are filtered out.

Just write your own post processing script to rename your final gcode file. https://manual.slic3r.org/advanced/post-processing
