How snapshots are saved
Snapshots are saved in the widget. Any parameter affected by a snapshot is persistently
displayed in the widget (even if that parameter is unmodified by the current snapshot setting).
Parameter controls in widgets are duplicates of the parameter controls they are linked to.
For checkbox widgets, there are two snapshots: one for the selected state and one for the
deselected state. Making changes to the linked parameters affects the snapshot for the current
state of the checkbox.
For pop-up menu widgets, there are as many snapshots as there are menu items. Add menu
items by clicking the Add button (+) to the right of the pop-up menu in the Widget Inspector.
Making changes to the parameters affects the selected pop-up menu item.
