The lack of organization bothers me so much I don’t use the feature at all. I keep everything tidy on the PC and upload whatever I am doing fresh each time, then periodically purge the home page of old stuff.
I wish I could set the home page not to remember any files at all.
That would work great, except that I bought a “Pro” with the intention of making a small business out of it. I have several relatives in the house, and one of which can get on a web browser, and start a cut. If they need access to the files, and then upload them, it slows down the process a great deal.
My process is mainly to upload the files as I need them and keep a few key files saved on the home screen.
Just in case you didn’t know, you can always go back to the home screen and upload a file while another one is running. No idea how long your jobs are - mine average 25 minutes. It’s more than enough time to set up any files that I’ll need for the day.
We’d all like and enjoy better file management but that is just one easy workaround as far as efficiency is concerned. If you want to check the status of whatever is printing, just hit the print button and it will pull up the timer/job status.
I am making pretty small stuff (Jewelry and Doll House Furniture mainly), so my cuts individually are pretty fast. I imagine as I get closer to production, the times will get longer, but for now 3 - 10 minutes is my range. I am doing ALL the design work and organization, but planning on roping folks in to keep the cutter working while I am at my day job. The organization issues are more to help myself and others about what is “experimental”, “ready for sale” etc…
