<< "If Utility tracks become very close to legacy RT tracks, why have two different pickers?" >>

Why? The Legacy RT tracks have the same two different pickers. Why change what's there and been there without issue?

Why, Part 2: Here's Noel's response. "The combination of using preset filters (that you mention above) and the "Filter String" give me immense power over my ability to narrow down RTs. I prefer the new version."

I use this filtered RealTrackPicker and have used it since it was introduced. I strongly prefer it not be eliminated. The filtered RealTrackPicker is an advanced search feature from the broader based Main RealTrackPicker and there are many searches that it's the right tool for the job. Your conjecture that it's only now been conceived and designed for the introduction with the Utility Track is incorrect. If you think it can stand improvement, make Wish List requests rather than post a criticism within hours of the Utility Tracks regeneration feature and asking for the filtered RealTrackPicker elimination.

Why, Part 3: The two RealTrackPickers have existed side by side for years without issue. It's not 'new' just unfamiliar to you and others. This RealTrackPicker is streamlined and focused allowing searches to progress quickly and efficiently without adding "yet another box". It's been there all along.

<< "I am curious, what do you think will happen if a main RT picker would be replaced by "filtered" picker with this 2021 release? " >>

What leads you to think that's in the works to replace the Main RealTrackPicker when again, the two RealTrackPickers have existed side by side for years without issue. Given some time and experience with it, you may find it useful too.

This RealTrackPicker currently resides seamlessly with the Main RealTrackPicker on Legacy Channels and it may be possible to extend it to the Utility Tracks as well. That's a viable Wish List request I think is productive and useful and would add my support if such a request was made.
