Feature request: per-toolhead Auto Loading toggle on Snapmaker U1 #1982
Description
Bug Report (bot-filed)
Reported by: blackops01 (Discord thread)
Environment
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Version | 1.0.6 (as reported by user) |
| Platform | Snapmaker U1 |
| Display Backend | Not provided |
Description
The stock Snapmaker U1 UI has Settings > Print Preferences > Auto Loading with one on/off toggle per toolhead (Toolhead 1-4). HelixScreen has no equivalent. User is installing BMCUs on a U1 and needs to enable auto loading for each toolhead from HelixScreen. Code search of stable and beta found no per-toolhead auto-load setting (only a beta-only "Unload at end" option, which is different).
Steps to Reproduce
- Open stock U1 UI: Settings > Print Preferences > Auto Loading (per-toolhead toggles). 2. Run HelixScreen on U1. 3. Look for an equivalent setting; none found.

Scheduled for 1.2. The 1.1 feature freeze has passed, and this needs a new settings surface plus the firmware command the stock screen sends for each toggle, verified on a real U1.
Until then, the stock screen's Settings > Print Preferences > Auto Loading sets it. A feeder with automatic mode off is also one reason the U1 quietly declines a load started from HelixScreen (#1832), so 1.2 should expose the toggle and name it when a load is refused.
