Couple feature requests #19

Love the applet, thanks so much for creating it. Being able to automatically do what I was previously doing completely manually saves me so much freaking time (and headaches in the future from just wanting to get a print going and not taking the time to do it myself).

One thing I'd like to see added though is a print time tag that enables hours and minutes to be used at the same time. I'm looking to achieve this result: "-4hr30min" if the print is going to take 4 hours and 30 minutes. The HHMMSS print time is pretty cluttered but only being able to use hour or minute by themselves is kind of janky.

I would also love to see the ability to append "rev2", "rev3", etc to the end of filenames saved that have the same file name as one previously saved. This issue comes about when saving files that have settings changed that aren't currently referenced in the filename. For example if I have [infill]-[material]-[layerheight] as my filename format, save a file, then realize I need to change the wall count changing the wall count then saving the file again creates a file with the same name. I don't know how Cura extensions work but if an automatic revision number is not possible to append maybe we can just have a text field pop up before every save asking if we want to add anything to the filename.

Last thing, I'd really like to be able to both save locally and to Octoprint. Unless I'm mistaken one is currently only able to save to Octoprint OR locally. I miss this feature from Simplify3D.

Again, really appreciate the extension thanks a ton.

Hi @SoLongSidekick, glad the plugin is saving you time.

For the first one instead of [print_time] you can use something like:

[print_time_hours]hr[print_time_minutes]min
