Does anyone here know their way around the Superslicer/PrusaSlicer source code well enough to make a change? The change I have in mind is that when RepRapFirmware output is selected, the thumbnail images embedded in the GCode file would be in QOI image format (see https://github.com/phoboslab/qoi) instead of .png format. That would enable us to display thumbnail images on PanelDue, because QOI format doesn't need a large RAM buffer to decompress the images.

Hi
I'm the dev of superslicer.
I encourage you to post an issue on the gihub for feature request.
(https://github.com/supermerill/SuperSlicer/issues/new/choose)

For changing the output format, currently we use zlib and a better version of https://gist.github.com/908299
Adding the QOI format shouldn't be too hard, from what i can read from their page. Just hoping it will compile without problem on windows, linux & macos.

the line to change is Gcode.cpp:941

I had planed sugesting this for SuperSlicer after PS 2.3 have been released an merged with SS, now it looks like that might solve itself

Hi
it's merged into my latest release of superslicer.
Be careful with "after PS 2.3", because prusa seems to be on a 6-month release cycle, and they may plan it for christmas.

I don't have a duet printer, so i won't notice problem / possible improvement for them, it's entirely up to duet users to report these. Don't count on me randomly noticing things like this one.
