request - Change on how "Fade Out" on Buttons works

Is it possible to, instead of "Fade Out" on a button, have a "Fade to the previous active button"? That would make stacking/layering scenes in Live mode far more intuitive and far less prone to distracting mistakes. Say you have a button for all of your front lighting that sets them all to 50%... and you then click on another button that overrides one of those fixtures to 100% to light up a Spot position. If there is no Fade Out button on the spot position button, It will snap back to 50% when deactivated... With a Fade Out on the button, the dimmer will fade completely out, and then suddenly snap to the active 50% button. Neither of those options are very good. What is desired is that when that second Button is deactivated, the fixture would fade back to whatever the first button is set at without having to fade to 0% first. I I understand that may be difficult to program, but it sure would make LIVE buttons mode easier to use. Same would be true with generator scenes that over ride. Types of common channels that would work better this way with Fade IN and Fade Out would be a Fade in to XY position on movers, dimmer intensity, and RGB/CMY state.

Changing that will corrupt the existing lightshows.
It is advised to put the "same channels" buttons together in one page, with the option "Solo buttons".
