Field notes
The window layout is modeled on Winamp, but its panels can snap together and move as a group. The visual picker organizes presets into family folders with tags, search, sorting, and favorites; Auto mode can stick to starred visuals. For editing, the page describes undoable changes and says edits are not saved over the original until the user chooses to apply them.
