As before, no masking is applied by default when recording scenes or cues. The only way you would end up with lots of masking turned on is if you turned them masking on manually.
I think the reason is that in update all is recorded except time unless you select time too. It has been that way always and so it should be... In update usually we want to record everything... Now we just have a bit more than IPCB :)
Yes, but the point being that when no masking is specified, then everything gets recorded. So, we should start out unmasked instead of fully masked. Make sense?
But in update we cannot start without masking... cause the default is all except time. That causes the situation where all others are selected.
Leaving one parameter out causes a situation where all others have to be on. And that causes a situation where we need a button to clear masks if we want to update just a couple of parameters. Before we had only IPCBE on and T off and selecting and deselecting them was quite fast, usually max 4 buttons.
To be clear, If you select Intensity, Pos, Col, and Beam in the masking scheme then the user kinds are in consequential. The answer here is not to include user kinds or time automatically in the auto-update procedure. This way the procedure will be no more or less troublesome as it was before.
What we cannot do, is change the default. Timing should be not recorded in update. If we start to record all + time (nothing selected in masks) in update that will be a real mess. Do we agree on this?

Does this mean that if I select beam, all kinds that belong to beam are selected? If so...right now there's no visual feedback that is happening. I mean if I use for example color mask all (kinds) masks belonging under color should follow.
