introduction & inquiry

I would like to second that request, an update only what has changes would also be a great addition!!

Yes I agree a function to update a preset with only the touched parameters would be very useful.

I don't know about anyone else but I see the layers window as far more of a programming window. I find one of the things that slows down the programming process is having to jump between different windows and in and out of full screen mode (cue list, edit preset window, library window), rather than one centralized programming space.
Whist I suppose technically this should be the start of a new thread I'd like to share with you some ideas I have about how the layers window could be improved in general.

First of all being able to resize the window so to accommodate more layer screen real estate.

2) being able to toggle the values in each layer to display the value, fade time, delay time (another request) curve (snap/fade/snap fade etc), default value, default timing, default curve and which preset last changed that parameter

3) adjusting a parameter puts them into an "edit mode" and turns them a different colour, at the top or the bottom of each layer is a section to update current preset(s) with the parameters currently in edit mode (including fade times and curves), or store either the edited parameters or the whole layer into preset xx and add to cue x in cuelist x.x

4) at the bottom of the window, update, store edited parameters in all layers into preset x and add to cue x in cuelist x.x (maybe this could be combined with 3 somehow)

5) Tab between parameters and hot key jump to a specific layer.

6) Blind mode

I think this would greatly improve the functionality of the layers window and speed up "stand a lone" programming. This should also be familiar to anyone who programs a hog -or any lighting desk for that matter.

would love to hear what you think
