That is one more click than there is now.
I'm also annoyed by the auto selection of every process. This is highly annoying.S3D-Jason wrote: ↑Sat Dec 17, 2022 3:30 pm Funny enough, we actually had a lot of users complain in the past that they always had to press "Select All" every time they were slicing a part with multiple process (dual extrusion, variable settings wizard, etc).
It sounds like most of the people in this thread are storing their printer configurations as separate processes. Is there a way we could change the software so that you would be comfortable storing those files in the intended profile management system? For example, it sounds like one of the benefits of storing the configurations as processes is that you can export everything as a single file and then share it with a team member. Is that the main benefit? I wonder if we can just add a different way to share all of your profiles as a single file so that you could start using the standard profile management system. There's a lot of features you are missing out on in V5 if you store printer settings as processes instead of profiles.
I don't think we are missing any features, and compared to the risk of slicing for the wrong printer or changing settings for the wrong printer, it just isn't worth it. I would be surprised if anyone who runs a print farm doesn't end up in the state of using factory files. Especially when some printers in the fleet use gcode to control some settings where the firmware controls it on others, like firmware retraction vs. not. We also have industrial printers like AON and Titan Robotics. And also especially when we have 10+ S3D licenses across 5+ users on many machines, some personal some shared. The way the processes are setup just doesn't work for us as we will make mistakes. And mistakes on the expensive equipment makes it not worth the risk at all.S3D-Jason wrote: ↑Sat Dec 17, 2022 3:30 pm Funny enough, we actually had a lot of users complain in the past that they always had to press "Select All" every time they were slicing a part with multiple process (dual extrusion, variable settings wizard, etc).

Interesting. Any clues on where this 'meant to be used' philosophy is laid out? I did my best with
I really don't understand the logic of this system.S3D-Jason wrote: ↑Sun Dec 18, 2022 2:20 pm
V5 makes it pretty easy to store all of your material settings within a single profile now. You can choose exactly which settings you want to be controlled my the material using the "..." button to the right of the Select Profile inputs, then select "Assign settings to categories". Then you can store all those settings within a single profile instead of having to use to many different processes.
