The UI of animator mode is designed to be as simple as possible, to save the workspace for animators.

The power of this mode focuses on the picker searching & loading, and the user interaction of the picker.

In animator mode, all edits to pickers are not savable, you must press the F8 hotkey to switch to the Designer mode in order to save the edit.

In animator mode, all unsaved edits won't be warned before you close the pickers or quit the application.

It is designed to act like this to not bug the animator too much since they will frequently close/load different pickers.

Use hotkey "F8" to switch between animator mode  & designer mode.
