Feature requests: snapshots for comparing changed slicing parameters

Right now I'm trying to decide whether a model should be printed with 2 or 3 perimeters, which made me think that being able to save snapshots of a sliced models would be useful. Basically you would slice a model and save a snapshot. Then, change one or more parameters, slice it again and save a second snapshot. Then you could switch back and forth to determine if the changes had the effect you wanted.

The poor man's approach to that would be to open a second instance of Prusaslicer (from the Window menu) and do 2 perimeters in one and 3 perimeters in the other window.

Yeah, that would work. 

It would be really cool if we could have a parametric timeline like in Fusion 360. Are there any slicers that can do that? I know nothing about software engineering, but it doesn't seem like that would be something that could just be added as a new feature, especially in open source programs.
