Essential Graphics - Link to open comp

Explorer ,
Jul 01, 2025 Jul 01, 2025

Hi All, 

 

Forgive me if this has been suggested here before (as it seems obvious) but whenever I use the essential graphics panel I don't want to be scrolling through an alphebetized list of every comp in the project to select the one i need by name.

Expected behviour would be for the essential graphics panel to default to the currently open comp, and then use either a viewer lock toggle or the current dropdown menu to adjust selection from there.

The current setup can be endless frustrating, especialy in a big project with hundreds of comps similarly named.

You can double-click a property in the Essential Graphics Panel and it will open up the composition where the property came from.The only issue is if the property in the EGP originated in another composition and this was then nested into the Primary Comp - in such a case, it is the originating comp that opens up, becoming the active comp.
