different numbers of perimeters on first and last layer

Please, add an option for different numbers of perimeters on first and last layer.

I have an Zortrax. Z-suite (Zortrax's slicer) makes by default one perimeter on first and last layer.
Why?
1) For me it looks better.
2) Maybe a stronger connection?
3) It will partly mask eventual problems like gaps in thin walls
4) It will partly mask eventual problems with gaps between infill and outline/perimiter


Thanks

You can already do this by using the variable settings wizard to make a different process for the first layer. You can then adjust any settings you want.

Yes, I can. But it's too many steps.
Ok for first layer, but if I want to have top layer, I must have 3 processes (one for bottom, 2nd for the middle and one for top layer).
I I print 10 objects at the time, I have to have 30 processes. Too many to menage.
