What features would you like to see in Serato software?

Lock Cuepoints / Prevent from setting cuepoints by accident

BBN 7:47 AM - 9 September, 2014
Maybe I just didn't find it using the forum search, but this is what I'm waiting for since Scratch Live and ITCH, and still don't see it in Serato DJ.

All I want is just a checkbox in the setup tab.
Why? Because I'm not using all 8 cuepoints on all tracks.
Sometimes when doing toneplays, playing drums or anything else with cuepoints, I hit a wrong one by accident on my controllers and now this previously empty slot has a saved cuepoint.
Now I have to delete this false and unwanted cuepoint, which usually kills the vibe and flow.

So please add "Lock Cuepoints" somewhere in the setup panel.

+1. I just recently moved from the Numark V7 to the Numark NS7 II and for some reason my brain makes me hit one of the MPC pads when I mean to hit play. This is probably because the MPC pads are about the same size as the Play and Cue buttons, and on the NS7 II the MPC buttons are where the Play and Cue buttons on the V7 are. In other words I'm used to hitting play on the NS7 II closer to the center of the deck because of years of using the V7. Anyways, a cue lock would prevent me from setting unwanted cue points all the time when I mean to push play. Not a big deal though because eventually my muscle memory will force me to get used to hitting the Play button ;)

I first asked about this a long time ago for SSL. The feature already exists. It's a checkbox option called Protect Library. The trouble is, it protects the crates and crate structure but not the files within them (other than text tags).

For the record, I would like to see it to protect/lock ANYTHING that can affect a file's metadata, whether it's text tags, cue points, loops, flips, overviews, or whatever.

And I'd like it to take affect from the moment I select it and not in a 'read-only' way that allows me to make changes, but just not save them. This could be confusing, as you might forget the option is checked, make your edits and close the program and not realise the changes haven't been saved until you open it again (a bit like how it works if you protect files at the OS level).
