Jonny,

I totally agree with the things you have highlighted, in particular the creating new tracks thing. Recently I've been importing loads of strips from protools with 96 audio channels. The work around I found was to use one of the template files that comes with L7, but I must admit that it was 3 tracks in before I thought to do this.

As for the autosave, though it may not do it on every computer. Everytime Logic fully crashes on my it creates a backup (crashed) file, so far (touch wood) it has always worked for me. Though I'm getting way less crshes now than I did on L6 on os9.

The auto assign tracks thing, well, you can assign multiple channels at once, as for them increasing numerically, I will look in to that one.

One part of logic worth checking out though, is the start up asssistant. In their you can get Logic to crreate a new autolaod file, based on you specifications, this relates to track count and input assisngment, It woudl be much quicker to do that at the start of a project than do the whole manual create thing.

Just one litttle nugget that I use in logic though is the enviroment. Using that you ca create your own custimised mixer pages that I then assin to screen sets. So for example on a current project I have an audio track mixer, bus mixer, aux mixer, my stems, and master outputs. It makes navagating the audio mixer a whole load quicker.
