Dual extrusion wizard right and left flipped
I'm using the dual extrusion wizard for the first time and I was thrown by the right extruder being shown on the left. Not really a bug but it would be much better if the right printer head were shown on the right in the wizard as well. I used the wrong heads because I was assuming that the STL on the right would be printed by the head on the right and not the other way around.

Re: Dual extrusion wizard right and left flipped
I would assume they are just loaded in the same order as they are defined in the profile (which is right then left). In addition, the right extruder is generally T0 and the left is T1. So personally, I always expect to see T0 listed first, then T1 (which is the same order used in the Machine Control Panel).
You can of course just switch the left to right using the drop down in the dual extrusion wizard if you prefer it a different way.

Re: Dual extrusion wizard right and left flipped
The right appears on the left even before any profile is loaded. It is the default of the dual extrusion wizard.
Which extruder is usually defined as T0 or T1 is something that most users won't know. It shouldn't be the reason for putting the right extruder on the left by default.
Yes, you can change the position of the heads manually but the start setup should be more intuitive, i.e. the right on the right and the left on the left.
