03:10 – 04:48 Take/Wedge system

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
