I tend to agree with this. However, I have a few other thoughts about the LAYERS window.
As a lighting programmer, I like the way that I can add individually attribute changes one by one through the outside Library window PRESET tab or by clicking to Edit a Preset in the inside Libraries window.
Many times though, I wish that I could use the LAYERS window to change only attributes I wanted to capture into a preset whereby only the "touched" attributes would "track" through.
Could there be a way to have a tab thru function for entering values in the LAYERS window where only edited values would show up in a capture. Something where the options would be "Snapshot All or Snapshot Touched."
