for "other uses," these temporary markers are utterly appropriate.

however, in the case of "tracking what's been previewed," i would guess that a user wouldn't want the marks to be temporary. if a user is previewing drum samples from a new bank, then quits REAPER and resumes later where they left off, they'd likely want to see where to pick back up.

tracking what has been previewed might be better served by its own unique column/mark, like "favorites," that auto-populates upon preview and persists between sessions. EDIT: a "peaks" column displaying whether peaks have been built or not might do nicely for this, though it does butt up against a potential "build peaks ahead of time" FR

meanwhile, for same-session sample digging, this is a nice way to mark my place. previously, i'd been kludgingly using the "favorites" mark for this. thanks!
