Description

I added a new popup menu command "Replace all from STL".

This addresses a workflow issue we have. Our company makes custom cycling shoes (https://hezo-cycling.com). So we print the same combination of parts many times. The parts will be different every time but they will have the same file names and require the same settings.
We have complex projects with many parts and custom settings for each part. For every printed shoe we have to manually select "Replace with STL" for every part. It's easy to forget replacing a part. So we sometimes end up printing bad/wrong parts just because we are not always 100% concentrated.

It displays a dialog box at the end of the operation to show, which meshes were replaced and which ones weren't.

I'm sure there are other users who would benefit from this functionality.

I'm happy to rework any of this.

cheers,
nils

Tests

Since this is adding a simple additional command that effectively does the same thing as "Replace with STL" I just tried selecting different things and then right-clicking. I also tried selecting a folder that contains the searched for files, doesn't contain any of the files or only some.

Limitations

I've only added German translations.
There is no way to replace all parts on all plates in one go.
