Summary0009617: need some usability features for Transform
DescriptionAs currently implemented, Transform functions as a one-time, manual operation. When you open it again, you are back to default, ie, nothing chosen or set.
In addition there is no good way to try settings out, then adjust, and depending on the choices you make, undo can work in a very strange way, and sometimes incompletely.
Steps To ReproduceI would suggest consideration of one of more of the following features:

1. ability to save settings from one use to another, or at least to the very next use.
2. an effective and easy undo of any transform procedure
3. Creating some sort of preview of the results of a particular collection of settings, so that experimentation is easier.

Greg, I think we need to tease the rest of this ticket apart in to separate tickets.
First ticket should be:
"ability to save settings from one use to another, or at least to the very next use"

Second:
"Creating some sort of preview of the results of a particular collection of settings, so that experimentation is easier."
