Curved covers - small infiil - bug? - request for improvment

[Walker_cz]

Hi,

I have some requeast according Curved covers. I've never seen it before but if I have small infill ratio the top layer - Curver covers - is starting printig from the middle of the object. There is no infill and it cause bad print. Is it possilbe to print the first normal cover and after this cover bottom print curved covers?

To answer the question with what I think is a workaround because it's not automatic, there's an 'enable_curved_covers' in the settings, for which you can specify at which layer they can turn on (1) or off (0).

In a related matter, the bases of the supports always print in curved covers mode.  I find it's an issue because it results in a number of dots or short segments printed without adjacent lines to stop them curling up, before filling in around them.  I suspect the algorithm prints the gap infills first, where I reckon they should be last.
