Hot folder for uploading prints

[buikpijn]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

My request is to have watch folder in which i can directly upload my prints from the network.

Describe the solution you'd like:

I'd like a folder that is watched by fluidd in which gcode files are stored and the meta data is read so fluid shows the used slicer, layer thickness, etc.

Describe alternatives you've considered:

I've used octoprint as an alternative, but do like fluid better. I've setup the smb function on the pi and used the virtual sd card folder as a dropfolder for my prints. It throws sd card busy errors and doesn't show metadata.

Affected users and/or setups:

I think everybody that prints using the same network can relate to the fact that it's not fantastic to upload every single print to the printer through the webinterface separately

Additional Context:

I'm using s3d so i can't use the octoprint api spoofer meant for slic3r and such

If it existst i am worse in searching than i though.. I'm unable to find any information in regards to my request;

I'd like a watched folder where you can upload prints to.

I tried this through the standard virtual sd-card folder, creating a SMB share to put files in that folder, but Fluidd can't read the meta-data of files that are placed in there and it also threw an SD busy error.

I know there is a octoprint spoofer for uploading from slic3r, but s3d is my goto slicer.

How do you upload your prints? Always through the web-interface?

Thanks in advance for your response.

Requires support in fluidd-core/FluiddPI for SMB shares first

[pedrolamas]

We have stopped supporting FluiddPi a long time ago, so this has gone outside of our scope - as Fluidd is just a web interface that runs on the client browser.

Having said that, Moonraker already monitors the gcodes folder (by default, `~/printer_data/gcodes``) and Fluidd will automatically show any new file that gets created there.

One final note here I completely almost forgot: Fluidd support drag & drop of files AND folders directly to the browser (files will just be uploaded), so that might also be a nice way to go around this!
