Confirm the print surface before starting a print

I just made a mistake starting a print with the wrong build surface setting on the printer, only realized it until I see a bad first layer. It would be great if PrusaLink can show the selected build surface in the confirmation dialog before starting a print.

I mean, I track the saved and active sheet already. All that remains is to actually show it. Thanks for the suggestion

Oh yes please, at least 50% of the time I change the print sheet, I forget to change the preset in the printer's menu.

I would even go a step further with this suggestion, it would be great if a check could be built into Prusa Slicer, similar as it is already done with the nozzle size.

Wrong surfaces and wrong filaments are common mistakes.  I have a sticky reminder on the door of my enclosure.

RE: Confirm the print surface before starting a print

Sheets are a tricky one, the slicer does not know the names of your sheets, only your printer knows. So either we'd need to somehow get them into your slicer, or refer to them by their number in the menu. One is still very hard and the other one is not user friendly. But I think we'll gradually get at something nice.
