Feature Request - Exe trigger upon processing

Another pretty niche one but one that I think come in handy for the advanced users.

There is another software we use that gives us an option to run an executable file upon the generation of a program.

This has the potential to come in very handy for after machining processes. One example in particular that i know is exclusive to our workflow when it comes to solid laminate and toilet partitions. Because of the shape of the tool we have to run a custom lead in and lead out therefore we have to do routes a very particular way. This means when the gcode is generated, we need to manually move things around.

To do this i created a custom program in visual studio that reads the gcode, extracts the secitions and organises according to my settings. As it stands, we have to generate code from MV and then remember to go through and batch edit the gcode files manually.

Where this trigger comes in is that i could completely remove that manual process by executing the program after program generation which would be fantastic!

Of course this is just one example but i can imagine the potential a feature like this could have and I can't imagine it is something that is hard to implement because all it has to do is call a file, pass it some information and let the exe do the rest.
