[QLab] Q Loading and Disabling

Took a trip to Guitar Center to demo QLab with an interface before adopting
it and noted a few things:

Selecting a cue loads the cue into both the inspector and the "On Deck"
position.  I would like it if a single click would load it into the
inspector and a double-click would put it "On Deck".  This would make it
easy to do quick adjustments without disrupting the cue flow.

In reference to ticket# 146 I would also like to be able to disable a cue
without removing it from its position on the list.  This would allow
listening to a sequence minus a certain element, taking a cue out that has a
good chance of coming back, or a big plus for us:  we have about a dozen
different preshow announcements that we use depending on who might be
speaking before the show, or if there will be a talkback after, and so on.
It would be nice to put all of those bits in the list and just enable
whichever one applies to the performance.

Last, a visual thing.  Perhaps this will change as I get used to the
interface, but it would be nice to see groups of Auto-Continued cues with
slightly different background colors to better see at a glance which cues
will fire together on the list.  Alternating colors maybe if you have two
adjacent sets...

Are any of these ticket-worthy?

Thanks
Kevin
