I am wondering if you can add a feature to logical operations of segment editor, such that the output of the logical operation can itself be a new segment.

As I have been using,

Segment\_1 – Segment\_2 modifies the original Segment\_1. If I were to retain the original, I can copy it to a Segment\_3 and run the operation that way. However, it is a bit cumbersome. And, I think, assigning the output of a logical operation to a new segment is more consistent with what I remember from other software (e.g., Analyze).
