Add option for user to save the generated gcode to a directory other than the current FreeCAD document.

Ideas:

  1. Prompt user with a 'Save As' dialog after hitting OK on the form but prior to running CuraEngine.
  2. Add a setting to the CuraEngine form for the user to override the default directory and save to a specified directory.
  3. Generate a 'GCode' object which is linked to the gcode file and add it to the PrintBed group. The user can then 'export' the gcode to another location.

A mix of 1 and 2 sounds good. The "save as" dialog could have the setting by default and a simple OK click would save, or if the user wanted another location, it could then be entered and saved somewhere else other than the default location for that instance.

I'm actually thinking about using a combination of all three.
Having a 'gcode' object would open up some cool possibilities such as: save gcode to sdcard, run gcode in simulator, send gcode to printrun, etc.
I still have some research to do though.....

Oh, OK, that works for me.
