Various improvements for variable settings wizard

I have an improvement for each method of varying settings. For the first method "Different Settings for Different Models" when all models are broken out into their own process there should be a check box to append the name of the model that the process prints to the process name. This would make the process titles much clearer when doing batch printing object by object. For example when printing the models benchy, cali cat, and xyz calibration cube with the base process title of NAT ABS 1.0mm the process window would go from:
NAT ABS 1.0mm (Set 1)
NAT ABS 1.0mm (Set 2)
NAT ABS 1.0mm (Set 3)
to:
NAT ABS 1.0mm (benchy)
NAT ABS 1.0mm (cali cat)
NAT ABS 1.0mm (xyz calibration cube)

For the second method in variable settings wizard "Different Settings for Different Z-Ranges" the Z-axis positions input box should be made to accept CSV data for height ranges. For example when separating the height ranges of a process at 10mm, 50mm, 80mm, and 350mm, rather than individually typing each number and hitting add after every input you would just type "10,50,80,350" and hit add once.

That's a good suggestion! I do want to mention that you can visually see which models are applied to each process by just clicking on the process with your mouse. That will highlight the models in the 3D view that are assigned to that process. But I could definitely see how listing it with text could also be helpful.

That gives me another idea. The process that a model is associated with should be highlighted when you click that model. Just so it goes both ways when clicking a process or model.
