Description
The multi-track operations are very useful tools in IGB. Operations such as "A not B" and "B not A" will produce a new track that shows the difference between the tracks.
I feel like there is a usability problem here though. When multiple tracks are selected it is not clear what the "A not B" or "B not A" operation does without reading the user's guide.
A user may think, "ok it shows the differences between A and B, but which track is A and which is B? Is the top track A and the bottom track B?"
In this case the user would be wrong because "A" is defined as the first track that is selected and "B" is the second track but this is not clear so the implementation is confusing.
It would be better if IGB could place an "A" or "B" within the track label when shift-clicking so that when the user reads the multi-track operations it may be more clear which track is "A" and which is "B".
