file name appendages

In the 2.1.0 version of the slicer it appends a set of additional information about the print:

resolution
filament type
printer model
time

Can these additions be controlled? Not seeing anything the the "Preferences..." to toggle them.

RE: file name appendages

You can configure this under Print Settings->Output options->Output file->Output filename format.

I often store gcode files for re-use weeks or months later, so include a lot of detail in the filename using:

[input_filename_base] [notes] [filament_type] [layer_height]X[nozzle_diameter] [first_layer_temperature]-[temperature] [first_layer_bed_temperature]-[bed_temperature] [print_time].gcode

The macro language can be used in Output filename format field available in Print Settings -> Output options. In this context you can use all the configuration placeholders plus the following:

RE: file name appendages

For example I have "PS_[input_filename_base]_[print_settings_id]_{filament_settings_id[0]}.gcode" Print Settings /Output Options. This generate a file name with a bunch of parameters separated by underscores, a reminder that it was sliced with Prusaslicer, the original STL files name, the print profile, the filament profile.
