I thought I might as well be the first cab off the rank, and try to take everybody along with my long-standing gripe.
When I save an image to a new layer, I want to work on it straight away.
When new layer is selected, there are two options
new layer off - for the life of me, I can't imagine that button being pushed often as a result of true desire.
or on - which means you revert to ortho and get everything.
What we need is a third, "exclusive-on", button which means you have the option to revert to ortho and see what you want, and only what you want. How obvious is that? I have been griping about this for ever, so some relief in version 18 would be most welcome. If nobody else in DCadland is interested, which seems to be the case, perhaps you can call it the Nick Pyner button. Cool.
AND SINCE the only way to see the image is in ortho, an automatic reversion to ortho, with view extents, on selecting "excl-on" sounds a really good idea.
I imagine it would take a bit of discipline in maintenance of GTVs, but I submit that, if this facility existed, it would, and indeed should, be the the default procedure.
