FilamentMonitor A0 but still update DM for all moves?

Re: Filament Monitor Data Access from OM
Hello all
quick questions/suggestions for the DataModel filamentMonitors
When i configure the filamentMonitor to only monitor printing moves, the data model values are not updated when extruding without printing. Is that intended? Additionally, could the totalExtrusion be updated with a higher frequency instead of in increments of the checked length? Typically i use a check length of 6mm and it is irritating when i make a 3mm extrusion move, the totalExtrusion is not updated until i extrude multiple times.
A bit more context:
I am using a macro to calibrate flowrate multipliers using the filament monitor which in general works quite well, but for that I need to reconfigure it to monitor all moves since the DM values are not updated otherwise.Now I am also extruding with an empty extruder while waiting for filament to be loaded using another macro, and this causes filament-error.g calls as long as the user does not push filament in yet.
I know i can check for status == "processing" in the filament-error.g and ignore it otherwise, but from my point of view the intuitive approach would be to configure the monitor as A0, but still be able to use the data model to monitor values when using it outside of printing. Does that make sense?

May be worth making a Github feature request.
