Kiri:Moto Settings Persistence

[code8buster]

Kiri:Moto would be much more interesting if this tool had a mechanism of making settings persist across sessions.

Perhaps saving them in the URL itself would be the most useful: user chooses the settings, then uses a button that generates the URL for bookmarking/sending to others so they can reuse the same settings without going through the motions manually every time.

It stores preferences, imported objects, state, etc in a combination of localStorage and IndexedDB. Do you have a privacy setting that prevents that?

Let me clarify:
Persist settings across computers. On a single computer, Kiri:Moto functions as expected.

There's a 3D printer in a room full of thin client computers. I want people to be able to login at any seat and start using grid.space as their slicer without having to worry about what settings are going to be good for the printer.

I experimented with creating a Chrome profile which has the "sync everything" option enabled, but I looked up localStorage just now and it turns out that Chrome doesn't sync localstorage.

As for your question: No. The thin clients are wiped of HDD changes daily, which erases the localStorage/indexedDB. A little outside your scope, though.
If the data could be stored in a way that the browser can shove it onto the cloud until the next logon, that'd solve both problems.

It does this when used inside of Onshape because Onshape provides account management. So it's not a lot of new code. But I would need to provide accounts on grid.space, and that's a rabbit hole I've avoided for the time being.

Ah, thank you, OnShape is probably what I'll do. Does it also do this with the Thingiverse integration?

Anyways, I just thought it'd be cool if grid.space could pull the user entered values, and throw them into a URL that grid.space could later parse and just use the values from the link. (Like https://grid.space/kiri?sm:FDM&maxy=200&maxz=150&extrtmp=230&bedtmp=99... and so on.)
Again, thanks very much. If I could have tagged this feature request, I would have! If I don't get around to learning how to do this and requesting a pull, at least the idea is out there.

[stewartoallen]

It doesn't work for Thingiverse. Just Onshape. The URL idea is a good one. I'll look into it.

added hotkeys 'u' and 'U' to save and retrieve/share a bundle of settings including all profiles and custom devices.
