Description
I use the next/previous buttons (sequential display controls) in the model panel quite a lot for quickly flicking between 3D classes - they are very handy for this!
I would like to be able to use the same buttons for switching between model/map pairs, but there is no way to do this currently.
I expected that if I grouped models by using the rename command to make (for example) the map a sub-model (e.g. model #1, map #1.1), then the next/prev buttons would switch between the model groupings, but this is not the case - it still treats the sub-models as independent models. Would it be possible to revisit this logic so that if a "base-level" model like #1 is selected, next/prev will switch between model groupings, while if a member of an ensemble is selected (say #1.1), it will cycle through members of the ensemble?
