Browser not opening post slicing

[MrCoola 0]

after uploading the slice to sonic pad Cura asks if i would like to open the browser, up to a few weeks ago when i clicked the open browser button it opened the browser  (for mainsail/Fluid)  it now doesn't do that. Is this something within Cura i.e. i need to switch on? or is it part of the Gcode sent to my printer/Sonic Pad?

Have you updated any of the software involved recently? 90% of the time, when something stops working like this, that's the problem.

That button usually opens the file browser on your local computer. If you're sending the job directly to a printer (not saving the gcode and putting it on a memory card or uploading it to Octoprint or something) there isn't a folder on your computer for it to open because it didn't save a file.

i use WIFI to upload to the SP and have for quite some time before it stopped working. I used to slice it, Upload to printer via WIFI and moonraker, Moonraker would allow me to open the fluid UI, but that has now failed

I'll admit I have no idea what most of that software is, but if it relied on adding a plugin to the configuration folder, make sure the install the 5.5 copied it over (it should, but you never know). On Windows, it'll be in %APPDATA%\cura\5.5\plugins - also if it uses a plugin it might not be compatible with 5.5, if you post the cura.log file from the main configuration folder (the folder above plugins), we can have a look and see if there's any errors about a plugin failing to load.

 

Also worth noting if it uses a plugin: if you added it straight into the installation directory C:\Program Files\UltiMaker Cura <version>, that won't automatically copy over to a newer version.

 

If you didn't need to install a plugin to get it to work, then ignore all of that and tell me/link me to the instructions for how to set that up and I'll see if I can figure out where things could go wrong.
