Disabling cues without removing them #305

I'm always frustrated when I have to remove a cue if it's not needed on a certain performance but will likely be needed in the future. All its settings are lost and have to be recovered afterward.

The possibility of disabling a cue without removing it would be awesome.

I'm using the Media Cue -> Stop Time -> "00.00.00.001" feature for same behaviour now, but it is definitely a duct tape kind of solution. Creating another .lsp file also solves the problem, but sometimes (most of the times) other adjustments to entire program have to be made and it gets extra bothersome to trace them all and transfer to original .lsp

It is unclear though what to do with the "Next Action" setting of the disabled cue. Whether should it be preserved or overridden with the previous cue's setting.

Anyway, thank you for possible attention.

The idea is interesting, thanks for sharing it :+1:

As a workaround you might be able to use presets, to "save" the cues, and recover them later -> https://linux-show-player-users.readthedocs.io/en/latest/plugins/presets.html#contex-menu
