Is there a way to add a thumbnail image to the G-code in Cura 5.1.0?

If so, how can this be done?

 

Would the thumbnail be generated by Cura

or do I need to supply an image (.jpeg or .png, etc)?

 

What size does the thumbnail image need to be?

 

Thanks in advance for anyone's help - Most appreciated!

    Nallath, 

     

    Thank you for help! 

    Not sure how I missed that in the list of extensions. It worked perfectly. 

     

    TIP:  For all using Windows, install the PowerToys v0.64 found here:

     

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/powertoys/install

     

    The power toys has a windows explorer (File Manager) previewer for GCODE, STL and a few other types. 

     

    For gcode you have to have a thumbnail in the code. Hence my initial question. 

     

    Thanks to Nallath, I can now see the preview in windows as well as the 3D printers display! 

     

    Thanks again, 

    AF
