Turn Tracker and Maps

I don't how feasible this would be, but it would cool if an 'instance' of the Turn Tracker were created for each individual map. As I am discovering the functionality of Roll20, I discovered that even while on the GM Layer tokens can be added to the Turn Tracker and a number value assigned. What's even better is that while the token is on the GM Layer, the players cannot see the grey-out token and value in the Turn Tracker. I think that this is great and so I went about trying to pre-sent values in the Turn Tracker for all tokens on the map on the GM Layer in an attempt to be proactive and save actual, live game time by doing this accounting stuff behind the scenes. However, I discovered that the tokens and the values for the tokens on Map A disappear once you go to Map B and open the Turn Tracker and attempt to put Map B tokens in to the Turn Tracker. In other words, the Turn Tracker clears itself once you switch from map to map. I would like to see it where each individual map had its own Turn Tracker tied to it so that you could pre-set values and tokens in it. This would greatly speed live game-play and remove dead-air time where the GM is busy rolling, setting, and sorting all the tokens in the Turn Tracker prior to an encounter. Hope that made sense. :) Cheers, Drohem
+1! I tried to do this exact thing last week.
