Lock Powers in Tray for Respec

One of the reasons I always hesitate to respec my toons is that I end up spending a lot of time having to going through and removing extraneous powers and 're-set' my trays. I ask a GM recently if the Lock Powers in Tray option (via the drop down menu) will lock your powers in your trays during a respec and apparently it will not. I would suggest an option that will allow you to lock powers in trays and lock extraneous powers out of the trays during a repsec. I am old, I am used to my trays the way they are, when I have to put them all back together again it makes me unhappy.. (smile). Any thoughts?

I'd rather have ability to leave all temp, inherent, vet and accolade powers in the trays than to rearrange them again and again.

This is the best solution, but it's still annoying. /signed on the idea of locking the tray for respecs.

The only other thing I have found that seems to work farily well is to open 5 or 6 trays prior to repsec'ing so that the game default will put all the powers someplace, then go through and weed them all out. With temp powers, alcolade, 6 versions of sprint, ect. ad nossium, it is still a bit of a task. Much easier to just lock them in place. (Figured all you guys with 80+ lvl 50's would kinda like this idea)

I actual take a screenshot, then paste the image into paint (as i don't always remember to turn my UI on, paint will just do a screen capture and keeps the UI) and then i respec.

After the respec i do a quick /cleartray and move my powers back the way they were before, due to the image i have in paint, just an alt tab away. Makes things a lot easier.

I usually have at least four trays open anyways:

-Tray 1 - primary offensive powers
-Tray 2 - secondary offensive powers(including Nemisis Staff/Black Wand)/primary defensive powers
-Tray 3 - Rest/secondary defensive powers/temp powers
-Tray 4 - movement powers.

(My Masterminds have Tray 5 under the target window with all their pet powers.)

So I usually don't have a problem of overflow after a respec - and having already done a dozen since I19 went live, I've had plenty of experience doing so.
