Thats the way my old one worked, you are right it is a time saver.
The new one does all that plus cuts the power on/off from anywhere on the fence.
With these testers and an RTV...we're happy guys!!

I wrote a blog post some time ago about the difference between different kinds of fence testers. Here's a link:
Electric Fence Testing Meters | Jack-Booted Liberal
The short version is that, with a "fault-finder" tester that shows amp direction, you can simply "follow the arrow" to the location of the short. Just keep walking until the current flow changes direction, and then you know you passed the short. Otherwise, it's just trial and error. I honestly do not know how people maintained electric fences without these.
