Why is the track manager tied to screen sets?

Unless I'm missing something this means that every time I add or remove a track from my console I have to Unlock/Lock that screen set. What was a simple procedure is now complex.

    Because with power comes complexity, and screensets are very, very powerful. The track manager being screenset dependant is great as far as I'm concerned.

    It means I can have MIDI only & audio only screensets to start with amongst loads of other helpful set-ups. Unless you have any real reason to lock the screensets just leave them unlocked.

    FWIW I think, no make that I need, some sort of always visible visual indicator in the CB or elsewhere to indicate when a screenset is locked or not without having to pop up the menu. I put that in as a feature request around January IIRC.

    If you really need to lock & unlock SS just assign a key binding to that toggle. That's how I work it's so fast it's almost automatic for me to make changes and re-lock or not as I see fit. Only thing missing is the aforementioned indicator.

    I didn't know you could assign a key binding. That helps. I think you are right. The system would work well if you could see whether it's locked where the name shows the current screen set.
