[FEATURE REQUEST] Auto-launch slicer after export

Open leo-nightfever opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

My workflow is always the same:

  1. Edit the model in VS Code
  2. Preview the model in OpenSCAD
  3. Export an STL via VS Code plugin
  4. Open the model in Cura and slice it
  5. Upload G-code to printer and start printing

The only thing that is not yet linked together are steps 3 and 4. I still need to save the STL and open it manually via Explorer. Would be great to have the option to have an "'Export Finished'-Action" where I could specify a path to a program that automatically gets called after an export is finished, together with the path to the just exported .stl. (much like the preview button in VSC triggers OpenSCAD with the currently opened .scad file)
