Post Console Pages Management Tools
It struck me over the weekend how much time it takes to load up pages & then customize button types. The save as default function doesn't really help, We need the following:

Insert Page Before / After
Copy / Cut / Paste Pages
A pages viewer / browser {edit} with a function to name pages also drag & drop ordering

Fader & Button type templates which allow saving of no mod & modifier+ button types combinations
Page templates (no cuelists)
Page templates (populated with cuelists)

I've been asking for something like that since V1. I suggested a playback layout preset that would contain your button and fader actions that you could just drag and drop onto the playback. So YES, +9999 to that!

I would love a feature for saving page layouts. I spend a lot of time dragging buttons and faders onto the console. It's annoying.

How about an easier way to get cues loaded into the pages.

To load a song (or cue list) I have to click open, click on the text box, start typing the name, find the number, click cancel, then drag it out of the list on the right.

If I could say push Red modifier (or what ever) to open, and a the same type of "open" window would appear with the cursor already in the text box, and when I find the right one, highlight it and click ok and it would automatically go to the right spot on the page.

I'd love to be able to name/sort pages....would make it really easy to move stuff around when bands change the setlist!

something in the components window perhaps that gives you a list of all the pages where you can organize their order?

or a 'views' option in the quick picker where you can quick jump to console layouts (changes the entire desk, not just one fader bank)

+1 for copy /paste pages. Had to setup a T2's buttons and faders today with a show that was originally on I3. Woulda been nice to just copy the pages over rather than find all the element and re-drag an drop them.
