Is there an existing issue for this feature request?

I have searched the existing issues

Sometimes people can forget that their print is sliced for a different plate and this can save a lot of hassle

Which printers will be beneficial to this feature?

All

Describe the solution you'd like

It would be nice to see which print bed is being used simply by looking at the thumbnail which can help for beds with different temperature requirements. I also think it's generally nicer and cleaner than just having it say the name in the gcode filename.
This can be done by either having it display the name of the plate, or by changing the colour of the bed to reflect each type.
Alternativeley a {bed_type} parameter could be handy to add to the filename

Describe alternatives you've considered

adding a label with bed temp to the file name
