Is it possible to create a new profile from the current print settings?

Hi,

 

Is it possible? I don't want to update the current profile, but to create a new one with the current settings.

You can duplicate the existing profile, give it a other name and make the changes in that new profile...

For me it is not working.

I cannot update the renamed, duplicated profile with the current settings.

I can update only the active profile.

Version: 4.8.0

... make the duplicated profile active...  now you probably want to know how to make a profile active 😉

 

- Duplicate the profile you want to use and change... give it a name...

- Select the duplicated profile... (then it is active!)

 

 

- Make changes... Save them...

Hi,

 

If I understand well you have provided the steps what I don't intend to do 🙂

 

Situation:

- I have a printing profile e.g. "PLA profile 1", that is my active profile.

- I make changes.

- I want to save my current settings off "PLA profile 1" to a new "PLA profile 2" and keep "PLA profile 1" intact.

 

I think it is a very common use case and I don't understand why isn't it supported.

... duplicate first, make changes in the duplicate file... same result...  😉
