[Feature Request] Add dynamic information to adjustment layer name

Id like to see a feature that shows, at a quick glance, what an adjustment layer is doing in the layers panel. 

At the moment, you have to either rename the layer, or click and see what it does.

 

For example, a hue sat layer could show  +m2, +b1, -y11 (+magenta 2,+blue 1, -yellow 11) below the filename(this would auto update).  

 

This would improve navigating in the panel and finding the right adjustments layer quicker. It would also eliminate the need to rename many of the adjustments layers as this would be automatic.

I have to say I mostly tought about the HSL adjustment (and curves).

The less it shows the better so it would be just for a fast glance.

 

A small colored box that shows what you have been working on would propably be the simplest. It would not need to show what you specifically adjusted as it would be for faster navigation (it would only show what it targeted - for example reds, greens, or yellows etc.).  

 

Curves could have 4 colored indicators to show what you have adjusted (grey for RGB, and one box for each color channel)

 

As you see in your example (and with all the things you listed) it gets quite messy fast, so having a menu that lets you choose the information to be shown there would be helpful for everyones specific workflow.

What would +m2 mean? + 2 hue or +2 sat or +2 lightness? So probly another "H" "S" or "L" so specify which slider and then how would you imagine desaturating custom colour range like green+cyan? -C(62°/92°, 178°/208°)S100?

Is this kind of super clear view you are after? Sry im just trying to picture this

Maybe blending mode, opacity and fill in there too? And all the layer blending style options?
