Allow editing compatible printers for filament and process profiles more easily

[kozross]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Currently, the only way to edit what printer(s) a profile is compatible with is to:

1. Export all your profiles (and you can't do just one).
2. Manually edit the compatible_printers section of the JSON-formatted file.
3. Re-import the modified profile.

This is particularly salient when you make 'derived' profiles from manufacturer stock ones: you retain all of their 'generic' filament profiles, and anything you make atop of that continues to be associated with not only the stock manufacturer profile, but typically all stock manufacturer profiles. This editing is a bit tedious and involves jumping back and forth between the slicer and a text editor.

Which printers will be beneficial to this feature

Any time you need a 'derived' profile and want to be organized.

Describe the solution you'd like

compatible_printers should be an editable field within the profile itself, while in the slicer.

Describe alternatives you've considered

The current workaround of exporting, manually editing a text file, then re-importing works, but it's tedious and time-consuming.

Additional context

PrusaSlicer doesn't have this problem: you can edit that field in it just fine.

Editing the files in the config folder also works, but it would be really handy if you could set the compatible printers in the slicer.

@Zaunei - the weirdest part about this is that PrusaSlicer already has the ability to do this. It probably got removed somewhere along the way (BambuSlicer would be my guess).

I could not change it Manuel. If I do this in the config folder, the setting will be overwritten with the next start of the slicer. How could I do this?

You have to export, modify, then re-import, like I described above. This is tedious, and one reason I opened this issue.

Whats the actual status. My Filamentlist ist anoying because there are 200 filaments for 4 printers saved and i see all on every printer.

Given that we had to un-stale this issue before any of the maintainers commented? Probably not getting improved any time soon.

Not fixed yet, so once again un-staling.

I too would like to be able to be able to modify the "compatible_printers" field from within the slicer.
I've got 3 different printer models and having to set up every filament 3 times is rather annoying.
