@param cool tricks

Hi

I just discovered by accident that there is an undocumented alternative syntax for "@param" line in presets. The alternate syntax is

//@param ParameterVariableName "ParamShownName" default_value minimum_val maximum_val medium_value step_size

for example instead of:

//@param1:alpha 'alpha' 1 0 1 .5 .01
//@param2:zoom 'zoom' 1 0.01 4 1 0.01
//@param3:offX 'offset x' 0 -1 1 0 0.001
//@param4:offY 'offset y' 0 -1 1 0 0.001

you can write:

//@param alpha 'alpha' 1 0 1 .5 .01
//@param zoom 'zoom' 1 0.01 4 1 0.01
//@param offX 'offset x' 0 -1 1 0 0.001
//@param offY 'offset y' 0 -1 1 0 0.001

so you may reorder parameters or insert new ones without renumbering

BTW did you know you can increase the precision of the "rotate" angle of the "Track opacity/zoom/pan - video processor" just by changing

//@param5:rotate 'rotate' 0 -360 360 0 1

with

//@param5:rotate 'rotate' 0 -360 360 0 0.1

//@param rotate 'rotate' 0 -360 360 0 0.1

Thanks for the sharing of these insights, my friend.
