Now that plugins are getting more sophisticated it can be kind of a pain to search through the list of available automation options when assigning automation envelopes.  For instance, if I want to automate something in Izotope Nectar I have to scroll up/down the HUGE list of available options.  I think instead of a scrolling list we should be able to choose an expanded view instead.
 
Does that make sense?
 
Or maybe it's already possible and I'm just not seeing it.

How about to have the last touched parameter available for automation on the top of the list ?

Yes an expanded view would be nice. I tell you what would also be nice - mouse wheel support for menu scrolling. I can't believe they're still using those old-ass menus with arrows that you have to click (or scroll with the cursor keys...I mean that was great fun in 1984 )
 
Automation in Sonar could use a big overhaul...I have no idea what the bakers have in store for us in the future but I'd like to think they have it on their to-do list. Just little things for starters, like having edit filter labels that are large enough to see the entire parameter name instead of just a few characters. How many times have you been confused by multiple automation lanes that have exactly the same labels because the parameter names started with the same few characters?
