Setting defauls save location for g-code  

RE: Setting defauls save location for g-code

A Dooh moment. Simply save the gcode to the sd, slicer will remember. 😉  

RE: Setting defauls save location for g-code

Thanks, Tim.  What you say is what I expected, but it doesn't work.  I've saved a dozen g-code files to the SD, but the default is still the old project file on the hard drive.  That's why I put up this post.

Ah -- there is an oddity about how this works.  Be sure you close the app using the FILE>EXIT menu, not the big red X in the corner.

Thanks, Tim!  I tried that but no joy.  I exported a file to the SD card and then left via File>Quit (No 'Exit' ), and the next time it went again to the wrong place.  Actually I had never noticed the File>Quit route to leave, so I certainly didn't save the file that way to get the default set the wrong way.  I have no memory of ever doing anything different when the default got reset.  Export G-code>Save, and leave via the red X in the top right corner is the only way I have ever worked.

I wonder if the default is saved in the registry somewhere that I could brute-force change it.

Seriously - that was all I did to make the app point to a new save location.  But, trying it again and it isn't doing that now.  So - I'm sort of back into your ball park now. No clue what I did. Quite sure I wasn't using the icon to save to SD. But now I'll need to go back and play to figure this out. 

If you are using 2.2.0 -- do you see the SD icon next to export?   Clicking the icon DOES save to flash drive.

Okay - it seems linked to where you last saved a .3MF - or project.  Save a project to the SD and the next save will point at the SD, including saving gcode. At least this is repeatable right now, this moment, today. Based on my experience, that might change this afternoon.

RE: Setting defauls save location for g-code

Tim, I'm glad to see that someone else is having the same problem.  I was beginning to think someone was sneaking in and changing things when my back was turned. 

And I have never saved a project anywhere, but I'll try it.  I don't even know what a project consists of.

Just some additional info - If I save to the SD card, then change the slice parameters and save again without even removing the SD card, it STILL goes to the wrong place.

By jingo!  That worked!  THANKS ever so much!

I suppose one shouldn't let stuff like that be such an annoyance, but things that don't work as they should get under my skin.  Thanks again!

RE: Setting defauls save location for g-code

No worries - it sort of bugs me, too. But finding there is a Save to SD on the dang UI after using the app for years, well, at least is some progress for me.
