Update Button for layer settings

[Boof63]

Hi team, any chance of adding an update button for the layer settings choices.
The reason being if i have several effects on layers and with different colour schemes , if i wish to rotate some say CW90 and then press update. If i have highlighted effects with different colour schemes the Update button on Effect Settings will change the orientation as wanted but also change the colour schemes to the current scheme on the Colour choices box.
So an update button just for Layer Settings would save a lot of repetition.

No

may I ask as to what problems it would cause , or too hard to implement.

Many people have asked about this and I think Keith is getting tired of answering the question.

The problem is not technical it is user interface related. I wrote the code and it worked fine ... it was just impossible to be sure what the user wanted when they pressed the button. Did they want everything updated? or just some things updated? There are so many attributes on that panel that it is unlikely they want everything updated all the time ... and if it isnt obvious what will be updated then I am better off not doing it at all ... so the code was thrown away.

Before you go and write 2 pages about why this is wrong go back and look at the dialog and see all the options ... and think about adding an update button ... do you and every other user on the planet at every time expect the update button to make each and every field on every tab in that dialog the same ... because if not then the button will get confusing and I will have an enhancement request to add 2 or 3 or 10 buttons and on it goes. The design has to be better than just add a button.

Apologies Keith, was looking at it though my rose coloured glasses (single focused) did not consider all the variables you have had to consider. If i may finish - with a single update button, then its upto me to how the variables are set, and i have CTRL-Z to rewind  if have a setting not quite right, and try again.
 But regardless of the outcome, thanks for all your work, we  would all struggle without
 the improvements you and the dev's have added.
