Improve "Select for printing" button UX

mdziekon opened this issue · 0 comments

Currently, when using the Spool editor modal, the "Select for printing" button has a subpar user experience:

  • You have to pre-select the tool for which the spool is supposed to be selected for, otherwise it will (silently) fail
  • For single tool profiles (most of the printers I assume), tool selection feels unnecessary

Proposed improvements:

  • For single tool profiles, "Select for printing" should automatically select the only tool it can
    • (optional) The button could state it selects the spool for Tool #tool_no
  • For multi tool profiles, "Select for printing" should be a dropdown button, allowing to select the tool (2 clicks, instead of 3 clicks)
