Nevermind guys; It is online. The issue we had is only triggered when slicing very big (volume wise) objects with ultra high setting with high infills. So if the slicing freezes, just nudge the object and let the reslice do it's work (or restart if it reaaaly refuses to restart)
thanks! But I can't see it in the closed_beta folder... maybe i'll try again on Monday. Wish you a great weekend.

okay, then it's probably me.

I can only see (in the closed_beta folder):
[DIR] 20160304/ 04-Mar-2016 09:58 -
[DIR] 20160314/ 14-Mar-2016 11:01 -
[DIR] 201603011/ 11-Mar-2016 13:34 -

A few remarks / questions:
- UMO's heated bed is visible, thanks! :)
- ultimaker_original.json has in machine_start_code: ".." G1 F200 E6 ;extrude 3mm of feed stock "..", I like the 6mm but the comment should be adjusted
- the installation did not restore my .stl association in classes_root (I did uninstall 2.1 and re-installed) 64bit version, Windows 7
- why is "shell thickness" setting disabled?
- is it correct that per default ALL top /bottom layers and outer shell layers are printed half speed (not only the last / most outer)?

change start / end gcode settings:
- Manually copied the ultimaker_original.json (from the cura Application folder) to the %appdata%\cura\machines folder and changed the start code to fit my machine, works great.

2. I fixed the comment thingie.
4. Shell thickness is disabled because people didn't understand what it meant.
5. Yep. A lot of the profiles override it though.

Hi to all!
As I profited a lot from Cura I like to take the time to give something back if not already put on a wishlist: First of all I would like to have two "save" buttons right next to the actual profile name (in the print settings overlay thats always on top). One that does update the current profile with the actual overrides, and one that creates a new profile with modified settings. These so important functions are way to hidden and complicated. It annoyed me for years finding the settings have not been autosaved... Second thing is that Cura automatically sets the "CFFFP_" in front of filenames. I hate it as all printers with Dot Matricx displays or 16X2 only have limited space and everything gets likely unreadablae. Also there is no easey way to change the filename then. I would love to have at least a button "save as" besides the save to button, this would already help a lot.
