Choose Icons' default layers

Icon Layers.png

 

When I edit a new VI's icon; First I choose a VI template from the templates tab, then I goto the layers tab and remove the incrementer and 'VI Icon' layers. Then back to the glyphs tab to add text and glyphs.

The incrementer layer is annoying, and it removes itself after 10 new VI operations anyway, negating the use of an incrementer. I want to choose to remove it from the word go rather than wait for 10 new VIs to be rid of it.

The VI Icon can go as well. I chose a template to work from. I don't want you to cover over my template.

 

I want to choose a template, goto the glyphs tab and add something descriptive and close it. 

Even better, I could pick a template with layers remembered, add another glyph, remove an old glyph and get on with the code.

 

Bosh bosh bosh. Done. Quick.

In Tools >> Options you'll find a setting to not put the incrementer on new icons. Doesn't fix everything mentioned in this idea, but it does handle one of your hiccups. 🙂
