The "Print" button on a printer card (and drag-drop-onto-card) used
FileUploadModal to persist the file as a LibraryFile, then dispatched
through POST /library/files/{id}/print. The LibraryFile row + disk file
were left behind after every one-off print, polluting File Manager with
entries the user never asked to save.
FilePrintRequest.cleanup_library_after_dispatch (default False) opts
into post-dispatch cleanup. When set, _run_print_library_file stages
db.delete(lib_file) in the same transaction as archive_print so a
mid-flight FTP / start_print failure rolls both back cleanly, commits
together, then unlinks the library disk file + thumbnail after commit
succeeds. External library files (is_external=True) are never touched.
Only the Printers-page Direct-Print PrintModal sets the flag. Every
other api.printLibraryFile caller (File Manager Print, Project Detail
Print) leaves it unset — their entries are there by user intent.
Also moves formatPrintName out of PrintersPage.tsx into a new
utils/printName.ts module — fa1c46d9 (#881) exported it inline so its
test could import it, tripping react-refresh/only-export-components.
This allows users sending particularly large prints to slow printers such as the P1-series to start a print and then move onto another task in Bambuddy immediately (such as starting more prints on more printers). It also gives the user visibility into what's happening instead of a loading indicator appearing for an indefinite period of time.
The new toast-based UI uses websockets to update in real time. It will also appear for other users / instances of Bambuddy, not just the user who started the prints, allowing more transparency and handling cases where the user closes the page and then comes back wanting to know the status of the dispatching.
fix: review fixes for background dispatch PR #408
- Restore missing imports in main.py (inventory, print_log, virtual_printers, mqtt_smart_plug_service)
- Guard voidresp() for A1 printers to prevent hang after upload
- Don't fail upload on voidresp() error since data transfer already completed
- Add ams_mapping to register_expected_print calls for Spoolman usage tracking
- Fix cancel_job TOCTOU race by using single lock acquisition
- Fix batch counter reset TOCTOU by re-checking condition inside second lock
- Add backgroundDispatch translations to fr.ts and pt-BR.ts
- Remove dead upload_progress_callback definitions
- Skip redundant "Print queued" toast in reprint mode (dispatch toast handles it)
- 5 backend tests: cancel_job single-lock TOCTOU, batch reset re-check,
job lifecycle
- 2 FTP regression tests: voidresp error handling (upload-loop fix),
A1 model voidresp skip
- 1 frontend test: reprint toast suppression
- CHANGELOG: background dispatch feature + test coverage entries
- README: add background dispatch to Scheduling & Automation
- Website: add feature item to Automation section
- Wiki: add Background Print Dispatch section to print-queue.md
