FEATURE REQUEST

Hi,

I use PrusaSlicer on several computers and each time I make tweaks on my print, filament or printer setting profiles, I have to export a ConfigBundle and import them on the other computers manually. I store the bundle file on a gdrive folder to make the syncing a little easier but if for any reason I forget to update the profiles on any of the machines with the latest profile settings and I then tweak some other things, then my new exported bundle contains a mix of old and new settings (depending on what I just changed / changed last time on the other computer)...

Now, another way to do this would be to automatically sync the .ini files on "C:\Users\USER\AppData\Roaming\PrusaSlicer\" but the problem is that not all of the computers I use are on the same network and also not all of them run the same Prusa Slicer version all the time and I am not sure about cross-compatibility.

So a nice solution to this would be to be able to log into your account in PrusaSlicer and have all the settings stored on the cloud and getting to chose which settings should sync and which others not (like you get to do using the dropbox or gdrive apps). Also each time you open PrusaSlicer you could get a warning message letting you know there are new profiles available?

Maybe this is already on the pipeline or someone knows a workaround to this "issue"?

Here's what I do in my Windows shortcut settings for starting Prusa Slicer (include the quotes as shown):

• Target: "C:\Program Files\Prusa3D\PrusaSlicer_2.3.0Alpha0_05.July.2020\prusa-slicer.exe" -datadir "G:\My Drive\3D Prints\PrusaSlicer\PreRelease_Settings"
• Start In: "G:\My Drive\3D Prints\PrusaSlicer\PreRelease_Settings"

I do need to restart the app to get it to reload the settings, but this has been working for me. I do not use multiple platforms, so YMMV.
