File Library Actions

The Job Management tab is the central inventory of every G-code or 3MF file PrinterMon knows about. Files land here from slicer pushes, manual uploads, and per-printer reads. From this page you can search, filter, organise into folders, lock, rename, delete, push to a printer, download, or inspect raw G-code.

• File Library. Files stored on the PrinterMon node, plus any files uploaded or pushed in.
• Printer Files. Files that live on a specific connected printer (its SD card or internal storage). Pick a printer from the dropdown to load its file list. Useful for printing files that were uploaded directly to the printer, or for cleaning out old files from the printer's storage.

• Move to Folder. Visible only when files are selected via row checkboxes. Moves the selection into a folder.
• Delete Selected. Visible only when files are selected. Bulk-removes them.
• New Folder. Create a folder to organise files. Folders nest.
• Upload File. Opens the same Upload Print File dialog as Add Job on the dashboard.
• Refresh. Reload the file list from the database without re-parsing files.
• Reparse All. Re-runs G-code metadata parsing for every file. Use after a parser update or if a slicer changed its comment format.
• Columns. Customise which columns are visible in the table.

• Search. Substring match on filename and description.
• All Printers dropdown. Show only files compatible with a specific printer (matched on printer profile / nozzle / firmware).
• All Filaments dropdown. Show only files that slice for a specific filament type or branded filament.

Each row has these controls (some are hidden until you hover):

• Checkbox. Multi-select for bulk operations.
• Lock (🔒 / 🔓). Prevents deletion. Locked files cannot be removed by bulk delete or the per-row delete button.
• Thumbnail. Click to open the job detail page.
• Rename (✎). Inline rename of the filename.
• Print (▶). Opens a Push dialog to pick which printer(s) to send the file to.
• Download (↓). Download the original file.
• View G-code (👁). Opens the job detail view with G-code preview.
• Delete (✕). Removes the file from the library (and from any printer that had it as Active Job).

Click Columns to toggle which fields show. Available columns:

• Lock state, Thumbnail, Filename (always shown), Date
• Print Time, Slicer, Filament, Nozzle Diameter, Printer Profile
• Filament Usage (grams/metres), Filament Cost
• Printers (which printers this file is assigned to), Layers, Max Z, Layer Height
• Nozzle Temp, Bed Temp, Chamber Temp
• Infill, Support, File Size, Group, Last Printed

Column choices persist per browser.

Files that didn't parse cleanly get a yellow row footnote listing what could not be extracted (slicer, printer profile, filament type, nozzle diameter, print time / filament usage). Re-uploading or running Reparse All usually fixes these once the parser is updated.

Folders are virtual — they're just a path attribute on files in the database, not real directories on disk. Click a folder to enter it. The breadcrumb row above the file list lets you climb back up. Moving a file between folders is metadata only; the file itself never moves on disk.
