When editing a scene, you can clone it to a new scene and append it to a chaser.
Then it appends to the chaser and the scene is also visible as a scene in the scene list.

When editing a sequence, you can also clone the step to a new scene and append it to a chaser.
In that case, the sequence is cloned and appended, but it's not visible as a scene in the scene list.
(in the qxw file, the parameter Hidden="True" is added in the function tag)
I can't find a reason while it should be hidden when cloned from a sequence step.

Or am I wrong?

thanks in advance,
regards.

Steps in sequences are hidden by default. So cloning a step would show such a behaviour.
If you would like to use this step outside of a sequence be warned that not all needed info is inside this scene. Since sequences only hold changed info per step it will be incomplete outside of the sequence.

I know. But the feature "clone to scene and append to chaser" should have the intelligence to copy the absolute values to a new scene and make it visible. Otherwise, this feature is not usable and shouldn't be available in the sequence editor.
At least, that's my opinion.
