Hey Folks,

I have 3 different ideas for improving the StylePicker. I think they would all be fairly easy to implement and would make the StylePicking experience better.

(1) A FAVORITES COLUMN
Instead of having it change the look of the style name when you Favorite a style, it would be much more visually pleasing and easier to read the style names if the "Fav" designation could be in it's own separate column.

Here's how it looks now (BIAB 2016, Mac build 127):




And here is a mock up of what I am suggesting:




They don't have to be bullets. It could still be the word "Fav" or any other kind of bullet or indicator, but the important part is that it has it's own column and doesn't clutter the legibility.

BONUS >>> And furthermore, if there was a dedicated Favorites column, we could click on the Favorites header and sort all the styles so that our Favorites all pop up to the top of the list.

(2) STYLEPICKER PLAYLIST
It would be fantastic if we had the option to have BIAB play the selected Styles in the StylePicker as a playiist (just like a playlist of songs in iTunes).

Sometimes, I want to go to the kitchen or set up some equipment (or whatever) and would like to be able to listen to my selected Style options without having to click each one individually. It would be very helpful if we could click on an option that causes BIAB to play the NEXT Style demo automatically as soon as it finishes playing the current demo.

(3) FIX THE RESETTING OF THE LIST
As was reported in another thread, some actions cause the Style list to scroll right back up to the top. If you're auditioning a long list of styles and decided to Favorite a style, the list jumps back up to the top again and you have to manually scroll down again to find where you were in the audition process. That's very inconvenient, especially when we're dealing with a list of hundreds of styles.

Please update the StylePicker so that it intelligently remains in the same part of the Style List after adding favorites.

Thoughts anyone?
