Hi Guys,
I currently implement this process using the old iframe/API reflector.
As discussed in the past has there been progress on this as a native feature in the new platform?
Cheers

Yes, this was released as part of version 2.12.
You can find a quick description of the feature here:
Hi @mathieu1
Thank you very much - that looks excellent! Looks like it has been available for a few months, sorry I missed it.
One question - can I change the file extension default from .json to something else? In my ‘roll your own’ version of this I use .kite so the file has a relationship in my users mind to my software.
Also a MASSIVE thank you for adding the ability to load the .json locally - this will help me a great deal in trouble shooting. Can I get those scripts/an example somewhere.
Cheers
DK
Hi @mathieu1
I’ve just run a quick test of this within the ‘library’ of my SD account (not in Iframe yet)
A couple of comments:
1/ The file name just took the name of the GH file it came from + the .json extension - with no ‘Save As’ dialog - not so useful if you want to save a range of options for later
2/ When I went to upload I got this error box:
.json file is also attached.
Cheers

OK - update from this morning - uploading parameters is now working.
Would still like the option of setting a file name and extension please.
Cheers

We will discuss a new version of the feature that lets you specify a name and, if it makes sense, a file extension as well. I will let you know when we make progress on this.
Regarding the script: we will actually work on a native solution in the plugin to let users do this, because the script version is not so convenient at the moment. This should also come with the next release of the plugin.
Thanks again @mathieu1 this is amazing progress on ShapeDiver for me, thank you for you and the rest of the teams ongoing work.
This will likely be the one feature that will push KaroroCad from the old to new platform and from beta to 1.0 release.
Cheers

Hi Guys
Not sure if there is any process on this feature?
Cheers

There are several features which you requested in this topic, I will address them separately:
- Letting users change the name and location of the parameters file: this is actually a web browser setting, which users can update themselves. Unfortunately, Chrome has it turned off by default, but it is easy to change (see this article, section “Change download location”).
- Changing the file extension: this is a feature that requires some effort on our side and is very specific, therefore at the moment we are not considering it in our roadmap. If we see value for other users as well, we will reconsider.
- Load parameters in Grasshopper: we will very soon release a version of the plugin which allows to do this, I will get back to you as soon as we do.
Hi Mathieu,
Thank you very much for the update.
Here is quick reply:
1/ I’m not so concerned with the files going directly to the ‘download’ folder, that is exactly how my current save option works.
2/ I understand my current save/reload option runs in JS locally, however I just pass the file name complete with extension into the Save File code.
My concern with the current “NameOfTheGhFile.json” naming is its not really tied to the application and when I last used the feature it saved with the name of my original GH file - which is less than useful for the end user to file and come back too.
I could live with something like “TheUsersOwnFileName.kite.json” as long as I could perhaps setup the logic to pass the file name to the SD json saving code.
Thanks again for the teams work on these things - I know even little features take huge amounts of time to code and test.
Cheers

Hi Guys,
Just bumping this back up again.
Its been just over a year since I did a public release of KaroroCAD.online - I have been waiting for a slightly better version of the save/load feature to be ready - has there been any progress on this front?
I would love to release a V1.0 with SD native save/load function along with ALL the great new features of the platform that my clients have not had a chance to see yet.
Cheers
DK
Hi Guys,
I’ve had a further play with the native save parameters this evening and was able to write a translator from my current save files to the native format (very happy!).
This lead me to drop a public version of KaroroCAD.online in the new platform - first time ever:
I’m hoping I’ll get to a V1.0 release in the next few months.
Cheers
DK
