Some specs:

  • Fast naming, organizing, copying for cache sequences or single cache
  • Easy Save/Load Tab Switch
  • Takes/Wedges logic to cache quick variances for sims with automatic opengl preview generation as well
  • Quick Deadline rop submission
  • Set Notes for each cache e.g. for sim comments
