The good and the bad

[MakerMatrix]

The good:

It more or less works for me here. Very nice. What's especially good is that it works through my VPN, so if I'm out and about with my computer, I can slice a file, connect to the VPN, upload it and initiate a print with your tool. This DOES NOT work from Chitubox net sending feature. I suspect it's because they use mDNSResponder or similar to broadcast for clients on the same LAN as the computer running Chitubox, and that is the only way you can select a printer. Through VPN, the systems coming from the outside get put on a different LAN. So, such a broadcast will not detect the printers...

So, if/when you add an auto-detect feature, it would be important to retain the option to manually enter/store IP addresses, or perhaps allow the user to specify the subnet(s) to broadcast on, in search of printers (i.e. don't assume printers are on the same subnet as the computer running your app is on).

The bad:

I noticed it throws an exception when I try to connect to a different printer, when already connected. It also appears to go into an endless loop if you specify an IP that is not a printer - it never times out and the cursor just spins forever until you kill the app. Upon Upload completion the progress bar didn't reset. I have problems with download on this version. Takes a long time to initiate and then does not seem to complete? I didn't experience that issue on the earlier one.

Nice job overall!

Thanks for the bug/feature report. I am working on a better version right now.
