Option to select/confirm extruder appears sometimes not other times
I suspect I'm missing something simple, but still can't figure it out.
I use Prusa Connect to send jobs to my 5 head XL. I do so via the dashboard and select the .bgcode file, which then gets transferred to the printer and run.
Sometimes, the printer puts up a screen allowing me to confirm (or perhaps change) which extruder to use. Other times it skips this step.
I like this extra step because it lets me know which print head(s) will be used (in case I screw up and forget to assign the correct one(s) while slicing.
How do I get this step to happen all the time? Must be something simple, but I don't see it.
Thanks.

As near as I can tell, it seems to only ask for extruder mapping if I start a job manually. It never asks about extruders when I put a job in the queue and let it start automatically.

This is true, but the printer also used to (sometimes) also confirm extruder mapping when adding a job to the queue. I heard back from Prusa support, and apparently it will also ask if the default extruder is specified when slicing. Haven't confirmed that.
