Printer

Voron 2.4, Bear Modified Prusa 3S, Sovol Zero

How to reproduce

Coming from PrusaSlicer where I have the ability to set the Filament profile color (filament_colour), and then in the Printer Profile set the Extruder Color (extruder_colour) to "Reset to Filament Color" which creates thumbnails in Flipper frontends (both Fluidd & Mainsail) in the color of the Filiment Profile used.

In OrcaSlicer I can set the Filament Profile color (default_filament_colour) but don't see any way to set the Printer Profile Extruder to a color or pass through the filament color. Therefore all thumbnails are always a drab aqua color regardless of any settings used to create the file.

Actual results

Thumbnails in Mainsail & Fluidd and MobileRaker are always a drab aqua color regardless of any settings used to create the file.

Expected results

Thumbnails in Mainsail & Fluidd and MobileRaker should reflect the color of the Filament Profile used to create the file.

Project file & Debug log uploads

This happens on all projects

Anything else?

Am I missing something, or is this function missing in OrcaSlicer?
