Edit: Nvmd, I wrote code and solved my problem. Now I can Right click "Print via OctoPrint"

How did you do that, my friend? Could you share the code?

If I have time, I'll try to share it on GitHub... Stay Tooned.

@ Menissalt, noted.

I know this topic has been going on for ages and some people will have already figured out how to do this. I just wanted to toss in how I do this without revealing my API Key in the gcode since the STRIP command does not work for me on Windows.

I make a bat and place it in C:\Windows\System32. It contains this(Change API Key, IP and Port):
@echo off
curl -k -H "X-Api-Key: APIKEYGOESHERE" -F "select=false" -F "print=false" -F "file=@%1" "http://IP:PORT/api/files/local"


Then in the S3D additional post processing I use this (S3D-FF-Upload.bat is my .bat file in System32):
S3D-FF-Upload.bat [output_filepath]

This would be a nice feature.

Kurtnell - Did you get a chance to post your code - Many would love this feature!

No I didn't. Actually, I like the aforementioned post processing command as a mono shot solution. I think I'll migrate to doing that; but with a powershell script.

So, after some struggling, I managed to create this powershell script that will give users the option to send a .gcode file to octoprint
Remove the .txt extension, add your octopi url/ip address and api key. Run it one to setup the registry stuff; it should be run as admin but it will prompt you. Then right click on any .gcode file and "Send to OctoPrint"

i have added

curl -k -H "X-Api-Key:<Mykey>" -F "select=false" -F "print=false" -F "file=@[output_filepath]" "https://octopi.local/api/files/local"
{STRIP "; postProcessing"}

to the Additional terminal commands.

When I copy disk the file dialog pops up. Is that normal?
Nothing appears on the octoprint screen.

Suggestions?

Running on El Capitan, that is the newest version this machine will run on.

there's no need for a batch or powershell script.
simply put the curl command in the post action section and it will upload the gcode to Octo when hitting save gcode
