Disabling steps actually works now

• Fixed: a disabled step kept applying its effect. You'd see a morph frozen at its last value, or a force/torque that kept holding a hand or arm so you couldn't...

What’s new since version 5​

Name your steps

• There’s now a “Step name” box at the top of the Step tab. Give a step a name and it shows up in the step dropdown, the header, and the Monitor — so it’s easy to tell steps apart once you have a lot of them.
• Leave the box blank to keep the normal “Step 1, Step 2…” names.
• Names save with your scene. (This works in older versions too if you ever open the scene there — nothing...

Hi! have a question, but first:

THANK you for giving option to rename Steps. Because of this, Loaded this right away.
Use your Thrusts (and bodytriggers) all the time, and this just adds that extra level of detail for so many things.

I did have a head-scratching moment how to re-name, but then remembered that before, how VAM/unity is a bit different in so far as NOT anything showing that you're actually in text box and it's waiting for you. So click on seemingly greyed out Step 1, and just start typing, and all good.

Also had a head-scratcher how to trigger the steps, as spoiled by so many plugIns with easier to manage presets.
Reading their wiki, realized didn't just have to save various, but have to click animatble 2x different places, and can see rigidbodies in Manage Animatables. This is a heavy plugin, but worth the reward.
So doubly Thank you for updating all this!

Question:
(1) any idea of best performance practices (not lose FPS)?
Do you make many steps and then load all the steps you need for that one anim?
Or make one step with bunch of modifiers, and then just load that step.
Was thinking presets to combine steps, but didn't see my Save ALL preset in Triggerables - just indiv saved steps, so guessing that's not an option?)
Trying to avoid a lengthy trial & error period.

Any XP or best guesses/best practices?
