Yeah, a UI change that allows you to dump Items, Characters, Times, and various other small little things like Tradeskills into a file would be extremely useful. Simply the ability to put 40 names, a time, 2 items and 2 more character names in one quick deal would make leading raids that much easier. The ability to load up those variables would make it even better.

Right now doing that requires a logout and writing to a saved variables file for an addon. Then editing the saved variables file while not in game to update it. A similar thing with combat logging. Would be nice to at least have an option to force a write of that type of stuff, maybe /console reload ui already does that, i dont think ive checked.

UI reloads do force saved variable writes.
