Teaser Name in Display

[NickPollock]

When displaying a teaser in the playlist, it would be great to display the teaser name that it is saved as, for example "Coming Up Hits".
Having it display would save the announcer having to open the teaser window to check the details.

We'll consider adding the Name field in one of the future updates.

I think his inquiry might have to do with having the Teaser appear in the playlist as its Preset Name. I too think this would make it easier.

A presenter or producer should, at a quick glance, ideally know which particular teaser is playing based on how it appears on the playlist. For example in my first screenshot it says "(Teaser) folder 4t Shuffle AutoHook 6s" instead of "Urban Music" which is its Preset Name.

The same issue arises when placing a teaser in the playlist generator (see 2nd screenshot). After you've chosen a teaser preset in 'Tracks Source', it will then display as some sort of path of all the folders that contain the music files, transitions, and so forth included in the preset, rather than the preset name itself, which becomes confusing when you later want to see which teaser you loaded.

The preset name is not saved in the teaser itself, it's only to quickly set the settings in the window.

This is for the same reason, the Teaser item only has its own settings (folders, paths, and other parameters). This is how it works.

If you want it to look pretty in the playlist generator, you can create a playlist with a teaser item, name this playlist so you know what it is, and use it as a track source for the playlist generator.
