XL set spool join in Prusa slicer?

After much searching I cannot find any way to do a spool-join in the slicer. It's a pain to be able to send the file to the printer- a 5 head XL- then have to go out and unlock the shed just to set the spool join.

It rather negates the benefits of being able to upload files across the network, only to have to make a trip to the printer to set up a spool join. 

The printer is in it's own heated enclosure, I can turn the heater on & off via the network, I can turn the printer on & off the same- then I have to go out there to set up spool join. There has to be a better way.

Ken.

But there isn't at this point. I suspect the Prusa folks will add it in an upcoming release as it seems a logical thing to do.

Thanks for the quick reply Fuchr- it's not the answer that I wanted, but I guess it is what it is. Roll on the update.

There's a current request for this https://github.com/prusa3d/PrusaSlicer/issues/12050   might want to go add a thumbs up or something.
