And a delete. It's way too complicated at the moment; last time I tried, the backup restored the deleted items...

There is a delete? Haven't tried it in the latest beta, but it did work fine for me earlier. So when doing rename you have to copy and delete. While it's not a dramatic inconvenience, inconvenience it is.pjr wrote:hacker wrote:Very minor, but I always wanted to have a rename option for style/material/etc.

KISSlicer automatically tries for a 45 degree offset from long straight walls for bonding purposes...nothing worse than a long wall just sightly rotated from a solid infill path, not meeting for most of the wall length. That said, you can right-click on the model tab and select "Force Path Angle"...it has limitations (like it needs to be done after any transformations to the mesh), but should help.inventabuild wrote:The aesthetics of printed parts can be improved if the direction of the layer lines is adjustable.

Along these same lines it will be helpful if parts can be rotated. When packing parts KISSlicer could offer the most efficient configuration, but then allow the user to rotate the parts so the layer lines print in the desired direction for all the parts.
I'm pretty sure [Delete] is back to working? There was a point where I broke it a while ago. If it's still broken please let me know!hacker wrote:There is a delete?

Seems to work for me (just checked). Though I have a feeling I had some error message trying to delete something today with the new version. I didn't pay much attention, thought there was something still missing upon the first start in empty directory.lonesock wrote: I'm pretty sure [Delete] is back to working?

There's several new multi material single nozzle hot ends, for example the Prometheus and the one for the Prusa i3 mk2, that require a prime tower to clean out the retiring material and start the new material. Peter wrote a nice program for the i3 mk2 multi material hot end, but each multi material hot end requires different volumes of priming so it would be nice to have the prime towers in the slicer instead of having to modify the g-code each time. Plus when I have to code the towers I have to figure out the best x, y coordinates for them which could be different for each printed part(s) if I want to keep it close to the part(s) and the slicer could automatically place the tower or make it easy for me to pick a place for the tower. Being able to pick the lxw of the towers would be nice as well so rectangles or squares could be made.
Interestingly, the Prometheus recommends a purge tower for the retiring material and a prime tower for the new material, so for a dual exruder set up there could be 4 separate towers, a purge and a prime tower for each color.
