Problem or Use Case

It would be convenient, if i could load / unload via a button on the Printers tab. That way i dont have to click through the menu manually on all printers to load / unload external filament

Proposed Solution

Add a button next in the "controlls" section on a printer inctance under the Printers tab

Alternatives Considered

I didnt find antyhing like this in the current repo ? maybe im mistaken

Sorry, but you didn't follow our rules from CONTRIBUTING.md. Also we have not yet decided if we want to add more controls.

This would be a useful feature especially based on my comments on #1071. Thinking, but if automatic unloading isn't preferred by the community, some sort of non-intrusive warning that filament was currently loaded and a new spool was detected in the AMS but unable to be read would be helpful.
Regardless, having a way to manually unload from the UI would be helpful, could make it a separate permission to allow flexibility in control as well.

I would like to wait until we have decided how to move forward with redesigning the printers card (https://github.com/maziggy/bambuddy/issues/1060). With the current design I'm not sure where to place it, because the card is still quite crowded.

That was nonsens. We are talking only about external slots. So it has to go to the AMS-EXT slot modal.
