Custom Filament Names for Filename

I recently started using some of the ABS-T bought off the prusa site. Since Prusa doesn’t seem to have created a profile for it yet, I had to make my own. The issue I am running into is that the “-T” doesn’t come up in the file name, so my sliced files I am not sure if I sliced it for ABS-T or standard ABS. Of course I manually can name it when I save it just wanted to know if there was a way to due it automatically with the dependencies or somewhere. 

Also why does Prusa not have a Slicer profile for ABS-T when it is one of there house filaments.

Not at my pc to check but try it without the dash, use an underscore instead abs_t , the - is possibly a special character so not allowed.

You can tweak the filament type that will show in custom filenames by changing Filament Settings->Advanced->Filament properties->Filament type. There is a drop-down list, but you can edit the field and save it in a custom profile if desired. This will show up in filenames that use the [filament_type] placeholder.

Didn't realize you could edit the dropdown... I will give it a try tonight.

Or alternately use filament_settings_id[0] as in PS_[input_filename_base]_[print_settings_id]_{filament_settings_id[0]}.gcode this has the advantage that if you have more than one profile for a particular filament, rather than add the generic name, the profile name is added.

So for example the filename is PS_X_Attach_Template7_SV01 0.1 DETAIL 0.4_SV01 Prusament PETG.gcode (perhaps a bit long winded but explicit).

It's indexed because it allows for multiple extruders, why it's in curly brackets is a mystery beyond my keen.
