PrusaPrinters Beta and Missing File Formats
I recently joined the prusa printer forum and transferred my models from Thingiverse and stumbled over a huge issue.
It seems that source code is only available in .ino format, which is wrong in so many ways. First the whole .ino stuff is a mess and has nothing to do with proper programming in c/c++. On thingiverse I was able to upload my source as zip file and by source I mean a ton of cpp and header files and not just some "all hacked into a single ino"-file.
After ending up here, just found the .ino file containing zero code inside my project. Tons of important files were missing.
I understand that it is required to check zip files and their contents before providing them as download for legal reasons, but why not add the zip file as it is to the project when done or reject it completely? My electronic projects are now useless, because there is no software provided and I have to link to a private site or thingiverse. I also get a ton of requests for the missing source in the project on this site.
And please allow .c, .cpp, and .h files to be uploaded as these are real source files used by compilers and not only .ino files invented and used by some development tool. And please allow uploading these as ZIP files as a decent file system structure is required to compile stuff properly and a zip files keep stl/obj files and source files separate..
