I much prefer to have a box to check to show the seam rather than change settings (like turn wipe on) to see it and then have to remember to change it back.
When you see how pretty it is and how well it works, you'll get used to it. :-)
Besides, what's wrong with having a little Wipe?
Reply from Mitchell Rabushka: Ask Jonathan what’s wrong with a little wipe, he’s the one who gave us the option to turn it on and off.
Besides II, you can slice it then turn it on and off momentarily to certify where it is. There's your checkbox right there. Just isn't labelled Show Seam. Wipe, along with many other settings, isn't one that triggers a re-slice. Some of them, like this, can be very helpful when making decisions on how to do the final slice. There's functionality hidden all over. You just have to think creatively and discover them.

Rabushka: Some materials may work better with wipe, some may not. I'll
be flipping the wipe button on and off with my preset profiles, which is just
asking for mistakes to be made. It's a workaround for sure, so I
appreciate the temporary relief, but I'd rather not continually get bogged down
in workarounds when things can be set up correctly in the first place.
Besides, how many other people are going to wonder how to view the seam in KISSlicer only after they print a seam in the wrong spot? Time wasted searching for an answer and some bad initial prints could all potentially be avoided if there was a dedicated view seam preference setting.

Hi Jonathan,
1. A pre-slicing approximate “radiating seam” sounds good especially if I can move it to where I want the seam to be so it will give me a good starting point pre-slice. I realize verification of the actual seam will still be required post-slicing.
2. A “seam marker” in Models view *after* slicing sounds great! Can you also show this in Models+Paths so you don’t lose it if you switch between the views?
Also, when you refer to using a control to turn on the seam flags, does your definition of control "selected" entail if any of Depth > 0, Gap > 0, De-String checked, Wipe checked or Jitter = 0? The reason for my question is that if I have pre-selected profiles I would not want to have to change something in “Seam Hiding” to generate a seam with a slice.
Thank you for pursuing this important topic!
Edited: Was Jitter <> 0 and s/b Jitter = 0
