.bgcode findable when searching for files#291

When I try to upload a file it will not find any with .bgcode extension. Can you update the upload mechanism so that when shearching for a name it will show .bgcode files as well.

@Mnoffsin is this still the case?

Yeah, still have the issue

Some more clarity on the issue:
Let’s say I have a file on my computer, let’s call it “Can you find me.bgcode”, and I click on “Start Print” -> “Upload File” from the printers dashboard. It brings up the prompt to search my computer. I CAN see the file in the file browser. However, I cannot see the file if I try searching for it using the search box at the top. This is a problem if I know the name of an old file that was sliced a few months ago and is difficult to find otherwise.

Thanks for the detailed report! We looked into this and the .bgcode extension is fully supported in our platform - both for uploads and in our file browser search.

The issue you’re experiencing is actually a limitation of your operating system’s file picker dialog. When you click “Upload File”, the native OS file dialog opens, and its built-in search doesn’t always work well with custom/uncommon file extensions like .bgcode. This is unfortunately something we can’t control from our side.

Workaround: Instead of using the search box in the file picker, try navigating directly to the folder where the file is stored - you should be able to see and select it there without any issues.

Thanks!!
