Philip might be the only Linden who remembers this but - we use to have a brilliant Windlight interface - see photo.
Instead of a color chart popping up when you wanted to adjust the lighting - you used sliders - which changed the light in real time so you could monitor your surroundings instead of trying to move a clutter of windows around trying to see what you’re trying to light.
The open window at the top of the picture was for time of day - which actually changed the lighting progressively from day to night. The Sun/Moon - East Angle in the bottom window moved them like keylights while preserving your overall lighting.
I could have the windlight window off in the corner and use it for active adjustments while filming - and could save adjustments as I went along as new settings.
Not in this picture was the day cycle editor - simple and obvious.
I don't have much hope of this getting fixed - but with Philip back, I thought I'd ask one last time.
