Feature Request: Show which advanced Tabs will be affected

I am new to Simplify 3D.
Seriously I am very sceptic. I am still not able to print with it. But I recognized some stuff and here is a simply to implement but very useful Feature request.

I recognized that changing the material or print quality within the FFF Settings will affect different tabs.
It is hard to recognize which tabs will be affected, which are static for each print profile.

So e.g. I know right now changing the material will affect the advanced tab "Temperature"

It would be nice to add e.g. a [m] behind the tab name.
The same with print quality and speed.

right now I am not sure if that is all.

If you want to further improve that, show a * behind each tab affected after changing something in the material or print quality dropdown like you show that the selected profile was changed.

Thanks :-)

Re: Feature Request: Show which advanced Tabs will be affect

Just so you know, you can go to File > Export FFF Profile, pick the profile you want to check, and then save that profile to your hard drive. Then open that file in a text editor and scroll down to the <autoConfigureMaterial> sections at the bottom. That shows you the exact settings that are changed when you pick a specific material from the list.
