Description:
Currently, this is only panel that doesn’t automatically update when you switch to a different active composition. If it’s going to lock to a different target comp, there should be a lock icon like Effect Controls and Comp/Layer/Footage viewer panels.
Additionally, if the lock icon was added, then it should match the logic when new unlocked panels automatically open when you already have a panel of that type locked.(e.g. Lock your Effect Controls panel, switch to a different comp, and double-click on an effect’s name in the timeline. A new unlocked Effect Controls panel opens next to the previous panel.)
This additional panel would then give the user the ability to work with multiple EG panels at once. This could be very handy when designing multiple EG settings/mogrts that should look identical/similarily.
Why:
Often times, I try to add properties to the wrong EG comp, just to be greeted with an error. (It could be said that instead of an error, it should automatically switch to match the active comp…)
