Snapshots – please allow sorting, updating and renaming

[Lorox]

Although the "Snapshots"-studio/panel is definitely useful, it unfortunately falls noticeably short of the possibilities that e.g. "Layercomps" in Photoshop offer. The use of Snapshots would be very much more ergonomic if these features could be added in future versions:

Please…

- allow manual sorting of the list entries. Oftentimes you create snapshots which are related to another, but you don't necessesarily create them all in a row. So it would be extremely helpful to be able to shuffle the snapshot entries around after the fact to give the list an individual logical order

- maybe even offer an option to group snapshots?

- allow updating an existing snapshot after the file has been changed in one way or other. It's quite a nuisance to be forced to create a completely new snapshot each time and then delete the older snapshot which you basically just want to override/update.

- allow renaming existing snapshots. I find it quite common to come up with a better snapshot name after a while (possibly after having created further alternatives).

I think I'm still forgetting something... (may be added later).

I want to support these suggestions, even though I don't consider them high priority. But very useful and desireable.

Grouping can be achieved by some ways of naming the snapshots ... but only if those with the same name parts (preferably at the beginning) can be sorted together
