Describe the feature

In version 2.2.18 you added:

"Update model caching to cache different versions of the same model file independently so a fresh print with different settings doesn't overwrite the earlier print leaving gaps in the history."

I'm not really getting on with this change. The problem for me is that when I'm prototyping something I might send it to the printer many times to test it. Previously it would just keep overwriting the same entry in the cache, whereas now every test gets its own entry in the cache. And there can be a lot of them as I test different parts of the model without printing the whole thing to save time and materials. When I want to print one of my regular models I have to dig through all the prototype instances until I find the model I want to print.

Is it possible to either:

  • add a config setting that defines if a model of the same name overwrites the one in the cache
  • or, add something to the GUI to delete an entry from the cache (perhaps another button under the existing 'print again' button).

Either of these would work for me, if possible. I'd suggest the delete button probably ought to be implemented anyway - sometimes my prints are just single things that I know I will never print again and I don't want them listed in the cache forever.

I picked P1S as that's the device I used but I expect this should apply to all devices.

What device is this for?

P1S
