How to reproduce

The latest Orca slicer nightly presents the user with a new "Print" dialog after pressing the print button.

In this window, if you do not have AMS with RFID tags enabled, you are presented this angry red box that asks you to manually confirm the filament that you're using. Previously, if you were printing using an External source these additional steps were not required.

This change doubles the number of clicks required to start a print. Worse, the setting is not remembered between prints, so even after selecting the source Orca will continue to prompt the user to endlessly reconfirm the External source on every print.

Actual results

Clicking the dropdown and selecting External provides no additional assurance that the user has the correct filament loaded; it is better to assume the user with an external source knows what filament is loaded.

Expected results

Do not prompt the user to confirm the correct filament is loaded if the user is printing from an External source.
