Viewers
This is a question that I probably should have asked like... 4 years ago. But right now I'm getting to the stage where this would be beyond helpful to have.
End Result: I would like to have two viewers, one showing color, one showing Alpha (easy enough) but I want to be able to have them both update when I view a new node.
Is this even possible? When I make a new viewer desktop, one stays static viewing an old node and the newest viewer to be created is the only one to update as I select the left side of each node. I want to be able to see alpha and color at the same time, because a lot of things are slipping though the cracks in that regard (I just assume the alpha is being processed, 20 nodes later only to find down the road that I never had an alpha channel in the first place, etc etc)
