Core Idea

I love the convince of the "Send to printer" button, but often am forced to do it manually because I want to rename the gcode file or put it in a folder other than the root of print files. Would it be possible to add a "Send to Printer as" button that could support
1. renaming files
2. Saving files to a specific path within the print directory

Some ideas for implementation of # 2

A file browser would be nice, but understandably much more work than a simple file path entry box. Either would be a significant quality of life improvement

An idea for the default path:
Let users of slic3r specify a local root in slic3r, it checks if the file it is slicing is under the local root, and if it is it comes up with a relative path. It then uses that relative path when saving the file to the printer.

ex)
Slic3r Local Root: MyPc:/users/me/3dPrintModels/
Printer file storage: MyPrinter:/users/me/octoprint/gcode/
Unsliced file path: MyPc:/users/me/3dPrintModels/coolModels/prusaLogo.stl
Relative path: /coolModels/prusaLogo.stl
Default sliced file path: MyPrinter:/users/me/octoprint/gcode/coolModels/prusaLogo.gcode

Reopening: I've been using the beta and have appreciated the new functionality. But having to copy my desired path every time is sort of a pain, I think my default path idea (specified in original comment) would be an effective solution of relatively low implementation complexity.

I've updated the title and description of this issue to reflect the new focus.

@vojtechkral Could we make the last path sticky?

@bubnikv Yes, I believe that should be sufficient... I'll look into it...

(And the same for #1106)
