Gray out Processes that aren't assigned to any parts

This is minor and is just a time saver. Say you have 3 or 4 processes divided up between a bunch of parts. And say you go into one or two and remove all parts from those couple of processes. Then later when you are looking at your process list, you may not remember if you disabled all the parts in the processes or not. You have to go open them all again and double check.

It would be handy if the processes that have nothing assigned to them were grayed out or in italics, some way to distinguish that nothing is assigned to them. It would just same time and every little bit helps.

Thats actually a pretty good idea rob. I would think that would be very easy to implment as well.

1+ That would be very useful.

or perhaps a drag and drop current processes.

I like this idea a lot! One thing though, is that I feel a lot of people have processes always setup to be attached to all models, and then pick the process needed when its time to print.

Since you could have 3 processes setup, (PLA, ABS, and Ninjaflex), and these processes are always applied to all models (basic slicing). The decision for which process will actually be in use is only after you click Prepare to Print!

In the screenshot below, where it says "Type" and says FFF for each profile, I feel like that could be replaced with an indicator. For instance, a number, that says how many models the process is applied to, that you could double-click and open the Select Models screen would be very useful.
