Possible feature request

[bdwillie]

Not sure if it is even feasible, but would it possible to add a shortcut in the main control panel menu to access the  preview design / editor.  It would be nice to be able to just go straight to the preview editor to change / check something without having to start sequencer to get to it.  Thanks!

Looking at the file structure, it appears that the Preview Editor is part of Sequencer as opposed to opening a separate program.

I was afraid of that as I didn't see an executional file for it.

Preview Editor is part of Sequencer

The sequencer could take in a command line switch and argument to open a specific preview by name and/or GUID as defined by the preview file. This would allow the control panel to open the preview currently selected when testing lights or even the ability to edit the preview attached to a sequence, such as another right click action on a sequence in the playlist/show editor.

If the sequencer is already open, it could still launch the preview editor window automatically. The sequencer doesn't allow multiple previews to be open at the same time, so it would either need to add that support, ignore the open request stating another preview is already open, or let existing preview be saved/canceled and new one is opened.
