This level is intended for developers or users who want to experiment with every aspect of the Slicer. Some options in this mode may be unstable or not fully tested, so it is recommended to use this mode with caution. **To enable Developer mode, you need to open OrcaSlicer Preferences/Developer/Settings/Developer Mode**. + +> NEW FEATURE: **Expert Mode** +> Available in: [Nightly builds](https://github.com/OrcaSlicer/OrcaSlicer/releases/tag/nightly-builds) or Releases greater than **2.3.2**. + +> [!NOTE] +> When using Developer mode, the Mode selector will be disabled. +> This is because Developer mode provides access to all options, and there is no need to switch between modes. diff --git a/images/GUI/modes_switch.gif b/images/GUI/modes_switch.gif new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..2cab3cf1020910785fb2cb2264e1a5e4da1eb7a9 GIT binary patch literal 1729 zcmV;y20r;mNk%w1VWa^b0K^*rnwpxC`qpM;BupU|juO08P2*sONT?Rvl9 zFnFLTo6qR9daW6V-|)EnNM_sbcK3X58XOb{2LgkHg@%WSgbRE)0ssPxFL;xbX^~Zs zBz`Ok8J?aB7m1^!g^MW(HMPhi-?=6X1cMh86To4^?Ucn(0*msu%P9lT84MH@3=Pr% z57oG~f*=fn*PLZwMg!LgN3Tkh8{r^8f-rT|CLrA-6H?ovL(WS zfORb+!t<6%m52-DN*wsa;6X0~4=4m2I*7(KPZ9EE5Ml5ILJ`~CXkZw_Q9+p^Cbq0V zzyX5<6nu$j;1j{c5o8S@urRhP+Xw~1PB z<_c(F;B4*$0vJrN@H_Z$+2$Hxuz-B`avB-aSd=bUL4yNkL^j}S#yZF{hR^6}Oz~yo z1)xQMKIJmk0>_tb9b2Uc#V5_1fj;sqjkGoYm-XR|D((@e3j%|Xg@FGAwZYbsMQANp z(Or*0_!w6O3`atSZ`qL71mB%el3o-%09Z&t1puN33}8S31_^*Cm>N*Ybb$pf74n#5 zq73p@j{;Z#WR68$vXdaKiGa&7pn0-Oe!X}o@9+dsw6NsPWA~?nOLPBR-S|fB`*&o;z~598Ui3vN(CszA9_Fpm6l(YNfB4E zsS}%;y5?#QAwTxC;7!89C&?NRtf)Z)!tp5pqGmu)=t0fTXe=YwcsjJs zY1Lcq&p>0t!r?2Vc3L)+R|QT4eQB_zYY`-TtF2z~;t~HvPmUfsFTb2Fmg-Q)V256! z$5@gAK=}e*1-zVydr*naEgoWz05Io#j7c`YF_|21uA^M~IN2>sU4v5!pYXhy&x{+A zvz0pQj8x?_U@$82Rb-l|TDA2$&w1%yI1aK4s`Ogiag1{Tdih`Pe zpbAscf*cJFg)WfECYqrXPkb;D4O~GgTEWBjyTiOrsjt$i_Ch@r`hdqa5c* z$2!{ajxq=V03rDV1u_5|04ym11^^uZ5&!@NfnX$x!=Wfys;1{5yf8dQ$7()0wRzq4HOSmOFR*YmMJ{`BL+RkvTT(euh4CMo@9q(Z% z8Xgp#aKs=Qi%8XyN8QDKQu|%J%svRVuaWxSY+1$Hi{Dp(X>{Zg^7Krl_MV Xcny9?Ksg(DGC6n(hl~e`Eg=9qt!dPy literal 0 HcmV?d00001
