Several beta-testers asked interface to quick change contrast curves. We did it (several days ago). I agree, if we provide interface to change curve, we need to store it to XMP (for later re-use in FRV) and translate this settings to Adobe programs.

Yes, curves are global (and

Generally, curves are changed by purpose:
