1.40.1-rc2 does not retain the filament names/associations while saving AMF file

Version

Version of Slic3r used goes here
1.40.1.-rc2
Use About->About Slic3r for release versions

For -dev versions, use git describe --tag or get the hash value for the version you downloaded or git rev-parse HEAD

Operating system type + version

What OS are you using, and state any version #s
Windows 10

Behavior

• Describe the problem
  The filament names are not saved and a generic name is displayed in the filament list after
  opening an AMF file.
  A simple solution could be show a decorated the name in the filament list , for example
  <AMFName>.<FilamentName>
  and while saving the name in the AMF file
  This makes the subsequent usage of AMF practically impossible, unless you make a note of
  the filament names somewhere.
  You wont be able to remember with what filament you have saved the AMF file with
  and load that filament onto the printer.

• Steps needed to reproduce the problem
  1- Open an STL and it as an AMF file
  2- Open the AMF file, the original filament names are replaced with generic names you
  can't actually know which physical filament to load onto the printer.

If you were to use the solution I recommended above, the n the filament list would show names like
B3.zip.amf.Prusa PLA

• If this is a command-line slicing issue, include the options used
• Expected Results
• Actual Results
  • Screenshots from Slic3r preview are preferred

Is this a new feature request?

STL/Config (.ZIP) where problem occurs

Upload a zipped copy of an STL and your config (File -> Export Config)

This is actually in the testing, implemented in the following branch: https://github.com/prusa3d/Slic3r/commits/amf_activate_existing_presets There is a release planned at the end of this month, and the branch above should be integrated in there.
