Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I find it a real pain to have to set up my new reels of plastic from scratch as there are a lot of variables that need configuring. Then once set up, trawling through the multiple configurations to find the one I am using is a pain.

Describe the solution you'd like When I get a new reel of plastic I would like to go into settings and click a new button, where it would then ask if I want to configure from scratch or start by cloning an existing setting. Once the new configuration is created and named, offer to print a label with QR code and name on it for the reel. When I then want to use a reel, let me scan in the QR code to select the reel from the list.

Describe alternatives you've considered All by hand, with writing down labels and looking through the list. I know this is quite simple, but in my case at least does not always work as expected.

Additional context This is a nice to have not a required feature, just putting it out there as I am rubbish at cleaning up my old configurations and so trawling through stuff is a pain. I also have multiple of each colour and so matching on my terrible hand writing to a configuration name can be less than perfect.
