Show the "Sliced Info" after the slicing is finished, do not require G-code export.

Version

1.33.3-prusa3d

Operating system type + version

OS X 10.11.5

Behavior

No values are displayed in the "Sliced Info" section. I've entered values for Density and Cost in the Filament Settings, re-sliced, removed and re-added the part, and then restarted Slic3r, but still no luck. Is there any other settings that need to be set in order to get this to work?

It is not obvious, but you have to export the g code first to have the filament statistics calculated. Also you have to fill in the filament weight and price.

That's definitely not obvious. Is there any way to make it update after it finishes slicing via the Slice Now button? I was experimenting with different settings (infill, layer height, etc.) to see how much difference they would make on the amount of material used.

I would have to look into it deeper. The implementation is by @lordofhyphens, I just pull it into our fork.

The information is not available until after gcode generation.

slic3r/Slic3r#3669

[bubnikv]

@lordofhyphens I have made the info box to show only when the information is available and valid.

I have edited the title, so the issue is left here as an improvement suggestion.

+1
it would be nice at least, if the info box would appear even when the export would be cancelled

+1 (and +1 for each of the 100 students i've been teaching to use slicer)

I have background processing turned on so the model is automatically sliced when I load it into slicer. also, if I change settings the model will be sliced immediately. I would imagine that this generates a temporary g-code file?
if yes, wouldn't the sliced info be available through that?

Thought this was a bug as sliced info panel was seemingly only showing up at random then noticed today that it would only show up after export. Definitely non-obvious.

This also effects the preview feature type controls/filters, and the feature colors, which change after gcode export.

Automatic generation of the G-code into a temp file & showing the info automatically will be part of the upcoming 1.42 alpha release. Closing.
