Improvements to the "lock FP" settings of the event configurations

Status: New

As briefly outlined here, the current event dialog is not very transparent in terms of the "lock FP" setting. The current placement of the checkbox seems to imply that the setting is "per event case", while it actually is "per event". This means that is is very tedious to verify the setting for each event in code where many events share the same event case. (See also the confusion here for another example)

 

My suggestion is to add a glyph to each entry of the "Event Specifiers" listbox that indicates the lock state for that event. (could use e.g. a little padlock).

 

This will improve code readability. Many of my event cases have several events and I tend to have the FP not locked until complete. It is tedious to flip through all events to see what's still set to lock the FP.
