v1.2 - fixed bug where a selected viewer node wwould still cause teh lock warning to pop up instead of showing the requested buffer

v1.1 - fixed bug where the lock warning would appear when a hotkey for a locked buffer was pressed inteh DAG without any nodes selected

Upon the first buffer assignement the active viewer gets a 'Lock' tab with checkboxes in it's settings panel. This allows you to lock either all buffers or only select ones:

It also created new right options in teh viewer to lock and unlock the current buffer or all buffers:
