Slicer 2.9.0 seam preview

Is there a seam preview function in Slicer 2.9.0 like there was in the past for seeing the seam placement once sliced? It used to be in bottom left corner with a couple other functions.

Yes.  There were quite a few more than 'a couple'.  All of those options have been moved to the legend that appears once sliced.  Look at the image here https://help.prusa3d.com/article/seam-position_151069#scarf-joint-placement

The legend that allows you to select various slice preview options has a series of icons along the bottom.  Seam visibility is there.  Along with travel, retractions etc.  Its been there for quite a few versions now.

And yet, after all these years, PrusaSlicer is still not capable of remembering your preferred preview options 😩 You want to see seams? You'll have to reselect that option every time.

The seam that appeared on my print did not show on the seam preview. How accurate is that function supposed to be?

Very accurate. Post your saved Prusa slicer project file here as well as pics of the item printed from that same project if you think there’s an issue.

I did not save the .3mf file. I only have the gcode. Will that work?

Well the gcode can be loaded into the gcode viewer and will show where the seam positions are in the gcode yes.  When compared to a pic of the part it would still allow a comparison.

Yes, and it does show a seam that lines up with the print, but I also had a significant line on a curved surface that does not show in the preview or the model and is not a layer shift. That was my reasoning for asking how accurate it was. Pic in middle shows up on print, other pic shows no seam but print has what I think/thought was. I already did a little post processing.
