Please add model name to gcode file name

I print lots of different things and I LOVE having the ability to send the gcode straight to the printer.

However, having everything called 'print-yyyymmdd-hhmmss-mils.gcode' is not helpful when you're trying to find a particular file for reprinting/checking what settings you used.

Please can you add the model name (the first one in the list would be fine) to the print file name?

Or, better still, add the ability to tailor the file name using some of the variables that I gather are available in the post processing bit. Like the filament type, weight etc. I know the file name could then get a bit long, but you could ditch the 'print-' and the milliseconds as far as I'm concerned.

I know I can export the file then print it separately, as per post viewtopic.php?p=64281, but that destroys the lovely speed and ease of the 'begin printing on machine' facility. It makes the whole "dammit I got that wrong, let's try again" process so streamlined ;-)

Thanks so much for v5 by the way. Some fantastic improvements in there.
