media set always defaults to set 1 when adding a new layer

Is it only me, or does this get to you too & if so is there a way around it which one of you guys/gals knows about please?

Say I have just added a clip from media set 3 to a layer and decide to add another new layer,
the media set immediately defaults back to 1 which probably means I have to click back to media set 3 which is where my focus was in order to choose a media to load -
What I would like is for focus to stay on media set 3 either until I choose or until I click on an 'exisiting' layer when it might do what it mostly (not always) does and go to the media set where that layers particular clip is located.

I notice how this irritates - in a small but perfectly formed way - and I keep forgetting to mention it as a possible alteration for some release or other.
If you know better & there is a way around it which I am oblivious to please let me know;
Missing it is entirely possible - missing the blindingly obvious is my forte sometimes!!!
regards
:D

I made the module "Default layer" on the last 2.5 beta.
Try it, especially the option "Use Last Mediaset Selected" :wink:

Damn, but you - simply stunning (p)sychic software creators - are good!!! Read my mind.
Must be the lack of sleep over v2.5 is slowly but surely opening your third eyes . . .
