Where does one post suggestions for improvements to Prusa Slicer

As per topic title, where can someone post suggestions for improvements to Prusa Slicer.

I use modifiers quite a bit and find placing them within a print very awkward as they cannot be seen.

In an ideal world, once you have added a part or modifier and you select the modifier to edit the part manipulation, everything else on the platter should become semi transparent so that you can see where the part /modifier is inside the print, also the size and position boxes in part manipulation should have arrows on them to nudge the value rather than having to type in the value for every change, this would make fine positioning simple.

So where do I post suggestions like this?

 

Thank you.

I already added a feature request for part of that.  The transparency bit.   If you want to add your support for it its located here https://github.com/prusa3d/PrusaSlicer/issues/3678

Add another for the nudge though by all means 🙂

Don't let the snide comments get to you. You guys are doing tremendous work and PrusaSlicer is rapidly moving to the top of the slicers, all for free no less. There's a process for submitting feature requests, and not every request is going to get addressed, or addressed quickly. I just wish issues with the commercial competition would get half the attention.

If I knew how to code for prusa slicer I would gladly help, but I'm OK with Microsoft Basic and can do some not to complicated Arduino stuff, can work my way (eventually) around C /C++, a little bit of python, but when I look at the code the developers here produce, I'm in awe of you guys.

And my suggestion isn't I want it now!, but just a suggestion to maybe consider as an improvement at some stage if deemed a positive improvement to slicer. I can work around it as is by slicing and using the layer view to see where the placement of modifiers etc is in the print, just it would be nicer to see as per my idea, but not essential.

And thanks for all your hard work improving what we have now.

At least now I know how to suggest improvements.
