· Cura load project feature usability problem
I open a LOT of project files (from here and Github) and many will have been created with an Ender 3 or Ender 3 Pro as the active printer. I look close at that as I don't want my printer over-written. In the Open Project dialog you have options. You can "Update" your printer and that will over-write your printer with whatever is in the project file. You can also "Create New" which will use whatever definition file was used in the project and add it to your list of printers. In the image below you can see that "Greg's Ender-3 Pro" is on the list of possible Updates. I always look and when necessary (which is quite often) allow Cura to "Create" a new printer.
The same is true for Profiles and Materials...you can Update or Create New.
I go through and clean out the printers, profiles, and materials once in a while or I'd be swamped.

In the Cura 5.8 stable release, everyone can now tune their Z seams to look better than ever. Method series users get access to new material profiles, and the base Method model now has a printer profile, meaning the whole Method series is now supported in Cura!
