Seems like some of the screenshots got a bit blurred, I’ll redo them at some point.
Did you know that you can send files to programs and locations with a few clicks?
When you right-click
a file in File Explore you have a Send to
sub menu.
Shortcuts for your favorite editor, folders on your system, e-mails - You name it!
This short guide will show you how to get the most out of the Send to
function in Windows 10.
When you right-clicks
a file you gets access to the Send to
menu.
Hold down the windows key on your keyboard, then press the R key.
Type the shell:sendto
into the run dialog box.
Now all you need to do is create your shortcuts in this directory.
You can click and drag apps to the Start up
folder - Either from the start menu, desktop or as here from the start menu content folder at C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu
.
Now you can simply right-click
a .STL
file and send to Ultimaker Cura.
And just like that the .STL
file opens up in Ultimaker Cura - Yay! 🎉
That’s it! 💪🏻

function in Windows.
