Hi; regarding the "Track Slider in real time", we could add a preference in the throttle preferences, but it is to be noticed that using this setting will generate a LOT of throttle commands on the DCC bus when playing with the slider, maybe a little delay should be added (or its value increased) for the default throttle to be opened, save/load default throttle *layout*should make it, but I'm not sure if the "speed step" view for the control pane is saved. Maybe we can add another preference for this to the throttle preferences.
