Thanks! I really want this in the available builds and agree the politics of it are the problem.
Turns out that the code is pretty much already in place, see:
All that is necessary would be:
-
a preference for writing out the file
-
a way to run OpenSCAD with the equivalent of the command-line option:
-o file.echo
which only captures the echoes — ideally after stripping out the extraneous text, if not, a way to run sed or some other suitable tool.
- a preference (or command) in the language for specifying the file extension
I’m hoping that not asking for a new menu command, and burying this in the preferences will make this palatable.
