I came here to suggest this very feature. I think it would be a great addition and would make monitoring the prints much easier. I can see where tracking the printhead location for each layer may be too processor-intensive, but synchronizing the layer slider on the preview with the current print layer should be pretty straightforward.
The Prepare and Preview tabs of Studio/OrcaSlicer generate g-code and send it as a single file to the printer. Neither slicer streams the gcode line-by- line to the printer the way Octoprint does.
You can monitor the status of the printer from the Device tab but there is no print status information sent to the Prepare/Preview tabs during a print.
That also means you can work on another project during a print, close the slicer, or even turn off the computer once the file is sent.
