Sometimes it becomes necessary to bring up channels manually and want to have them stay there even though cues are running. Right now if you make some parameters of a channel manual and deselect that channel, then run cues in which that cue is programmed into OR hit the Stop/Back button on cues in a cuelist that the channel is NOT programmed into, the manual value will clear itself.
The only way, right now, to circumvent this, is to select that channel and Capture it using the capture function (correct?). Very rarely or at all would I want a channel that I have manual values for, pop into the cues I'm running until I decide I'm ready to 'release' it and Sneak+Enter it back into playing it's cues.
The reason why Capture wont work for me, is while I'm running cues on a show and trying to make level adjustments, and then I need to continue running cues, but now I need to update those level adjustments into a cue that has already passed and now all those manual values have released because ooooooh I forgot to hit Capture on all those channels, yeah, boo.
I propose a console wide Capture Mode, perhaps denoted at the top of the screen somewhere, that would be selectable through some crafty command line syntax involving the Capture button OR a show setup function at the CIA.
