This would allow you to save different presets in groups for different use cases/clients as well as combine sets (with the latest template added taking precedence). For instance that would allow a person to start with a “Technician,” “Extra,” template overlay a “CARLA region set” of channels, and then import their groups sets. Numerical collisions could either automatically add to the end or give the user a remap to # option per channel or per group. That system could be group sourced, and maintain the flexibility for an infinite number of use cases. <div class="gmail_msg"><div class="gmail_msg"><br class="gmail_msg"></div><div class="gmail_msg">From: David <<a href="mailto:weather@lightingunlimited.com" class="gmail_msg">weather@lightingunlimited.com</a>></div><div class="gmail_msg"><blockquote type="cite" class="gmail_msg">What is MediaWiki?</blockquote></div><div class="gmail_msg"><br class="gmail_msg"></div><div class="gmail_msg">From: Drew Einhorn <<a href="mailto:drew.einhorn@gmail.com" class="gmail_msg">drew.einhorn@gmail.com</a>></div><div class="gmail_msg"><blockquote type="cite" class="gmail_msg">MediaWiki is the very powerful wiki software that runs the Wikipedia and<br class="gmail_msg">many other well-known wikis.
