Output Filename Format

Hi 

When I upload gcode files to my printer, via OctoPrint,  I get a static filename.  For example {input_filename_base}. gcode

The previous gcode will be overwritten. I have search for another symbols that can be used without luck. I wish it was possble to use the important STL filename.

i.e {stl_filename[0]}. gcode. (first in the list if there are more than one imports). Is there any good alternative that can be used today?

One obvoius alternative is to name the gcode file manally but I am a lazy lad.

Thanks in advanced

Stephan

List of placeholders https://help.prusa3d.com/article/list-of-placeholders_205643

If you dont want to overwrite you can add something like timestamp for example.

Thanks for the reply. 

My need is to keep some gcode file on the OctoPrint for later use. I will soon forget what the timeStamp means. 

That said, it is not so hard to type a unique name every time I need to keep it. There are bigger problems on this earth 🙂
