Updated 'Builds' Workflow

From listening to user feedback and our own use of the 'Builds' feature, we identified two points of contention.

  1. Build Clarity:

    • Knowing which Build was open was confusing.

    • If you left the slicer page, the previous Build stayed open, leading to uncertainty.

    • Now, when leaving the slicer, the Build closes. Opening a model from the Library starts a new Build.

  2. Adding Models from the Library: This problem was addressed in two main ways:

    1. Command Menu with Model Search:

      • Clicking the '+' button now opens a command menu with a search function for models.

      • Enhancements to the command menu include bug fixes and speed improvements.

    2. Easy Model Uploading:

      • Uploading new models is simpler.

      • Use the 'U' keyboard macro or click the upload model option within the command menu.

Other Improvements & Fixes

  1. Improved Slicing Indicator:

    • The 'Slice', 'Re-slice', and 'Download G-code' buttons are now located at the top of the slicer in the global toolbar.

    • Accompanying this new placement are redesigned indicators that provide a more coherent view of the slicing progress.

  2. Model Search Bug Fix:

    • Previously, searching for models yielded inconsistent results due to bugs.

    • These issues have been fixed, resulting in more reliable search results.
