That would be a solution, yes. But currently it feels extremely borked from a UX perspective. It purports to be able to do this, but when you tell it to it breaks in unintuitive ways. I hate this idea of "well you just need to understand all the arcane ways in which to properly use it to its proper effects". It's like a car which has a gear shifter, but that's not fully functional yet, so instead you switch gear by spelling out in morse code the gear you want to go into using L as short and R as long. Furthermore, you shouldn't try to listen to 105-112 on the FM band on the radio, because those frequencies are used to control the brakes and ABS and if you listen to those frequencies the brakes no longer work. We would rightfully stone any engineer who'd design this and then say "well obvious user error" when the user rightfully complains that they crash whenever they listen to Arrow FM.

Thankfully as programmers we know better and don't need to care what the UI pretends to be able to do :) >We would rightfully stone any engineer who'd design this and then say "well obvious user error" when the user rightfully complains that they crash whenever they listen to Arrow FM. We might curse the company and engineer who did it, but we would still use that car and do those workarounds, if doing so allowed us to get to our destination in 1/10 the regular time...

You can't just say "yeah they left all the foot guns in but we ought to know not to use them", especially not when the industry shills tell you those footguns are actually rocket boosters to get you to the fucking moon and back.
