Feature request

I have two printers a Mk3 and a mini

 

When working on large projects i tend to use them both

In prusa slicer this means i have to change printer over all the time to produce a print on either machine and reload whatever project i am working on

can we have tabs?

 

Just like a desktop browser so i can switch between machines quickly without having to change the model etc

 

So if the part on the Mk3 needs a change then i tweak that slice and print and then switch back to my mini tab and carry on there

RE: Feature request

you can have multiple instances of slicer open at the same time in windows
after opening slicer, right click on the slicer logo in the tool bar, third item up, dhoulf br pruda slicer, click that and hey presto, two simultaneous sessions\

use one for each machine

Have you tried launching multiple images in your operating system?

That makes it easier.

Mac and Linux make it much easier to isolate instances.  The limit is available memory - so to avoid swapping don't try this on a smaller Raspberry Pi but an 8GB model can run three instances if the files are small.

Cheerio,

Running it two copies of prusaslicer is a work around but it is a bit hacky

RE: Feature request

Could you please raise this request on the Prusa Slicer Github page and inform them which operating system you use.
