After a patch some time ago S3D forces .gcode format when saving. Even when overwriting a .g file it creates a new .gcode file.
This is a hassle since I'm using the printers auto print from SD card and need the .g format for it to see it. Its not a major problem but its an annoyance.

It worked before so I'm guessing its an oversight with a patch.

Did you try putting something like {EXTENSION "g"} in your post processing script? Otherwise, if you have gcode selected as the export file format, I'm pretty sure it will always save a .gcode file like you said

Worked great!

Thanks alot.

In my experience, if there are multiple Processes, the {EXTENSION "g"} has to go in the "Additional terminal commands for post processing" box of only the FIRST process, the one that handles the first layer. It's ignored in upper Processes.
