Hi everyone,
I was playing with some atmosphere parameters today and had an idea. Wouldn't a button on each panel, maybe labeled "save current parameters" and another called "restore current parameters" be nice?
I realize I can save/increment save the whole scene, or do "undo's" and get back to the same spot, but I think this would be simpler and quite useful.
I find myself getting into a "I'll change this, this, and this" and give it a try, even though I know better. Then wishing after a render I could remember what I changed (getting old is the pits.)
I suspect coding something like this would be easy (I know, it may not be as easy as I think) since I believe all the parameters are under a fixed xml "object".
We have a per-node customizable "presets" feature under consideration for the future, but it's not likely to be introduced very soon. Good idea though.

You can always copy (ctrl+D) a set of nodes, disconnect the original set and try other stuff with the new set.

Same here, i had to get into the habit of writing log files to remember all the changes i make in project, so i could backtrace.

I do this in all apps I use. Comment nodes are sometimes life-saving ;) I also do what Dune said a lot, which is another "safe" way to experiment.

I just save my work. Then start going nuts with things. Works every time.
