Terminal command
on the advance settings, scripting tab there's a "Additional terminal commands for post processing"... What are the "terminal" commands supported ?
Re: Terminal command
found my own answer... anything... as long as you use double quotes.... grrr...... documentation for this software could really be improved....

Re: Terminal command
There's already documentation for every single tab in the process settings: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=2367
Here's the link specifically for the Scripts tab, including the "terminal commands for post-processing" that you mentioned: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=1959

Re: Terminal command
I'd prefer the guides published on this forum to any form of "official" documentation any day. In the 15 years I supported software users, I never came across suppliers documentation that fully explained things in words that users could understand!Let's not confuse tips with documentation...
The only improved "documentation" I would like to see is something like a wiki attached to this forum.....produced by users...not by software programmers!

Really ? 15 years and nothing? You must have grey hair by now ....dkightley wrote: I'd prefer the guides published on this forum to any form of "official" documentation any day.

"I found that..." , "It looks like.... ", "This seams to...", "For me this works like..." ... instead of "It works like this:" ... Ya... sure it's better...
Have a look at "http://docs.octoprint.org/en/devel/conf ... index.html"* and you'll probably have a first view of a properly documented software (by software programmers - let's better call them developers) which they top up with a active IRC channel. And that's a free (!!) software. You're welcome.

Anyway, found the problem. The terminal command MUST be in double quotes...
Re: Terminal command
I'll second the documentation request. I've seen great docs, but not for this software. I've been at this for 36 years though.
In scripting, are there any conditionals besides =, and any math functions like modulus, +, - ? Can I create and use my own variables? It's hardly scripting without these things, and I don't see any of it in the "tip". I'd like to be able to count layer changes and perform an act on every n layer. This should be easy, but I need more info.
Thanks. Great software. I love Octoprint too.
