#5 Layer info display

[Craig Stuart Sapp]

It would be very useful to be able to recall the
analysis plugin parameter settings used to generate
data displayed in a layer.

The attached image illustrates one possible method
of implementing this feature. There would be a button
on the layer control panel for each layer. When
pressed, the parameter settings used to generate the
layer data would be displayed in a window similar to
the parameter input for the analysis plugins.

In addition, this data should be stored in a header
when the layer is exported. For text, there could
be a special format for the comments, XML export
headers could be structured. When layer data is
read from a file, this data could be loaded so
that it will display when the Layer Info button is
pressed.

Also, when saving the header data to the layer
file, adding the date and the name of the soundfile
which was used as the source of the analysis would
be useful items to document.

Yes to pretty much everything here (except some details of
button location and label). We remember this information
anyway, so it needs to be possible to recall it.
