How to obtain statistical data and file information

[antwal]

It would be possible to extract separately or save an additional file in text or json format with some information contained in the file such as:

Layer Height
Resolution X / Y
Total Height Millimeter
Print Time
Used Material
Material Cost
Machine
AntiAliasLevel
Material name (if available)

Currently I copy this data manually;

if available a command line function would also be fine, but I couldn't find anything in the documentation

There are multiple ways to obtain that:

1. File - Extract, it will dump everything inc. layers which may be overkill
2. Layer actions - Export to HTML, will create a information file with all settings, you can exclude layers and other optional content
3. File - Terminal and create a snippet that you can copy paste to generate that info and either dump or set to clipboard and/or file
4. A powershell or python script where you can just input for file and generate your content as you need
5. Command line, see UVtoolsCmd print-properties:

Description:
  Prints available properties

Usage:
  UVtoolsCmd print-properties [<input-file>] [options]

Arguments:
  <input-file>  Input file to open and read

Options:
  -n, --names <names>  Prints only the name matching properties
  -b, --base           Prints only the base properties of the file
  --partial-mode       Fast load the file in partial mode
  -?, -h, --help       Show help and usage information

Example: UVtoolsCmd print-properties UVtools_demo_file.sl1 --partial-mode -b -n:LayerHeight -n:ResolutionX -n:ResolutionY -n:PrintHeight -n:PrintTime -n:MaterialMilliliters -n:MaterialCost -n:MachineName -n:AntiAliasing -n:MaterialName

Opening file UVtools_demo_file.sl1: Done in 0.12s
Listing properties:
----------------------
ResolutionX: 1440
ResolutionY: 2560
AntiAliasing: 4
LayerHeight: 0.1
PrintTime: 491.5
MaterialMilliliters: 0
MaterialCost: 0
MaterialName: BlueCast EcoGray @0.1
MachineName: EPAX X1
PrintHeight: 1
----------------------
Total properties: 10

To save that content to a file, repeat same command but append: > to_my_file.txt
To parse contents via script you can use regex: ^(\w+): (.+)$

perfect

You also have: PrintTimeHours and PrintTimeString

hi, on most of the files when I use "MaterialMilliliters" it always returns the value 0, instead "MaterialCost" is always calculated, how can I do to recover the value of the quantity of the material from all the files?Thanks

[sn4k3]

For file formats that don't have "MaterialMilliliters" information inbuit you need let UVtools to compute that, for that you need to open files in full mode, in other words, you need to remove the --partial-mode flag from command

ok
