- **Avaliable suggestions:**
- **Bottom layer count:** Bottom layers should be kept to a minimum, usually from 2 to 3, it function is to provide a good adhesion to the first layer on the build plate, using a high count have disadvantages.
- **Wait time before cure:** Rest some time before cure the layer is crucial to let the resin settle after the lift sequence and allow some time for the arm settle at the correct Z position as the resin will offer some resistance and push the structure.
This lead to better quality with more successful prints, less lamination problems, better first layers with more success of stick to the build plate and less elephant foot effect.
- **Wait time after cure:** Rest some time after cure the layer and before the lift sequence can be important to allow the layer to cooldown a bit and detach better from the FEP.
- **Layer height:** Using the right layer height is important to get successful prints:
Thin layers may cause problems on adhesion, lamination, will print much slower and have no real visual benefits.
Thick layers may not fully cure no matter the exposure time you use, causing lamination and other hazards. Read your resin dtasheet to know the limits.
Using layer height with too many decimal digits may produce a wrong positioning due stepper step loss and/or Z axis quality.

* **Scripting:**
* Add scripting capability, this allow to run external scripts inside the GUI and take advantage of visual layout to display user input fields
* Scripts run under the "Roslyn Scripting API" and can make use of the whole C# language, this mean a huge boost compared to PowerShell scripts
* Scripts are written in the same way UVtools is, by learning and programing scripts you are learning the UVtools core
* For more information see the script sample: https://github.com/sn4k3/UVtools/tree/master/UVtools.ScriptSample
* To run scripts go to: Tools - Scripting
* **File formats:**
* Add a check and warning when opening an file that have a diferent layer and file resolution
* **Issues:**
* Add "Print height" as new type of issue detection, all layers that goes beyond maximum printer Z height will be flagged as PrintHeight issue
* Print height issues will not be automatical fixed, however user can fix it by remove some layers to counter the problem, still is recommended to resize object on slicer
* Fix unable to compute issues when only islands or overhangs are selected to be detected alone (#177)
* **Settings:**
* Add default directory for scripts on "General - File dialogs"
* Add checkbox on "Issues - Compute - Print height" to enable or disable this type of detection
* Add numerical on "Issues - Print height - Offset" to define a custom offset from Z top

* **Issues:**
* When computing islands and resin traps together, they will not compute in parallel anymore to prevent CPU and tasks exaustion, it will calculate islands first and then resin traps, this should also speed up the process on weaker machines
* Gather resin trap areas together when computing for other issues to spare a decoding cycle latter
* When using a threshold for islands detection it was also appling it to the overhangs
* Fix the spare decoding conditional cycle for partial scans
* Change resin trap search from parallel to sync to prevent fake detections and missing joints at cost of speed (#13)
