Missing layer count in octoprint and printer lcd

Describe the solution you'd like
Add ;LAYER:[layer_num] as default in "Before layer change G-code" printer settings
Another solution: add a checkbox for it in the debug output setting. i have gone through all settings and if it was there i would have checked it.

Describe alternatives you've considered

  • Add it urself
  • Use another slicer

Additional context
Would be more userfriendly if its default, especial for new users.
I just tried out Slic3r and this was the first negative impression - layers are not shown but the print is running now...
Had to google, had to add it, had to make an issue :D

Will also help to debug the g-code.

i see not disadvantages by adding it as default and help new users get a better initial impression of the slicer.

Verbose gcode gives you the layer numbers as well.
