Operation
The default 'Activate Bookend' checkbox is on. When it is on, the functions described below will work, when it is off, the functions will not be called.
Settings
Bookend looks for alteration files in the alterations folder in the .skeinforge folder in the home directory. Bookend does not care if the text file names are capitalized, but some file systems do not handle file name cases properly, so to be on the safe side you should give them lower case names. If it doesn't find the file it then looks in the alterations folder in the skeinforge_plugins folder.
Name of End File
Default is 'end.gcode'.
If there is a file with the name of the "Name of End File" setting, it will be added to the very end of the gcode.
Name of Start File
Default is 'start.gcode'.
If there is a file with the name of the "Name of Start File" setting, it will be added to the very beginning of the gcode.
Examples
The following examples add the bookend information to the file Screw Holder Bottom.stl. The examples are run in a terminal in the folder which contains Screw Holder Bottom.stl and bookend.py.
> python bookend.py
This brings up the bookend dialog.
> python bookend.py Screw Holder Bottom.stl
The bookend tool is parsing the file:
Screw Holder Bottom.stl
..
The bookend tool has created the file:
.. Screw Holder Bottom_bookend.gcode
