PanelDue Feature Request - select/change filament

oozeBot

While we understand and agree the PanelDue is not a full replacement for DWC, there are a few more things we'd still like to see work untethered. Changing filaments is one of them. Perhaps with the rework of M291 in 3.5, this could be more cleanly handled in a macro, but ideally it would be built in.

@oozebot I second that. It annoys me every time when I want to change filament and need to run 1 level upstairs to the PC..

Good idea.
About the only thing possible at present is to create a macro for each filament.
I have "centralised" my filament setup so that I only store filament specific settings in the respective/filaments/xxx/config.g and have a universal load/unload.
But to get buttons in PanelDue I'd have to do individual buttons each passing which filament to load.
A bit tedious if you have a lot of choices though.

Maybe a possible enhancement function for DWC would be dynamically created buttons where the parameters could be contained in a text file?
