[ADDED] Auto-confirm option

When I hit the 'Prepare' button I get a dialog presented asking me to confirm the filename I want for gcode. That's fine.

However after the 1st time this is run I then get another popup asking me to confirm that I want to overwrite a previous copy of that file.

I think it would be useful if Simplify3D had a global option (a checkbox on the general options screen) which allowed the user to specify that they want auto-confirmation of that 2nd dialog.

Similarly, when I then click the 'Stop Preview' button I get another dialog asking me whether I would like to print that design. Most of the time the answer is yes, otherwise I wouldn't be navigating these options. So I wonder if it might be possible for the user to specify that printing automatically takes place when the 'Stop Review' button is clicked. Whether that might share the same setting as above is open to argument - but it would be nice to be able to just have to click two buttons to go from prepare to print (and maybe just a single button, leaving out the preview?).

Alternatively, if not a global option then could these checkboxes be added to the main dialog of the application? They don't necessarily need to be sticky - so long as I can switch the features on or off one-time is good enough.

I don't actually use the preview presentation at the moment, it's just there as part of the process required to print a design, and invariably I just click straight through that preview. I wonder if that might suggest some thought about whether there could be a new button which combines the prepare and preview options into one operation - so that clicking one button will take the design straight to the bot.

Re: Feature Request: Auto-confirm option

Many of these prompts were removed in version 2.0 to make the process of generating gcode much more efficient
