I reckon it would be very useful to have a much bigger equivalent of the yellow current frame handle. I am regularly grabbing it to drag through the frames to see my latest tweak.....Just find the yellow triangle way too small for regular grabbing...anyone agree?

I would love that in the next update!

It could, for example be a big disc that shows the current frame in it (I know this is currently displayed TL of graph....but it's a bit of info that is SO important to animation that I feel you can't overkill on it!!!

Any thoughts?

Hm - I have no problem with it. Since you can click everywhere in the grey bar and the timeslider jumps to the mouse position for me personally it works quite well.
But have it a bit bigger and more different from the start and end sliders wouldn't exactly hurt either :)

Cheers!

Hi Thomas!

You obviusly have better hand eye coordination than me! Re the grey bar...yeah...but that's kind of thin :) ....I'm running at 1600X1200 on a 20.1" monitor. TO be able to size the grey bar would be cool and as you hinted make it so it is harder to grab the end triangles...done that several times......er maybe I need a holiday:rolleyes:

PS...Any clue as to when PMG will be releaseing a new patch?

hehehe - I prefer working on dual 22" monitors at only 1280x1024 with a good "laser mouse" or my tablet... - much better for the eyes... :)

Cheers

Ha! - So you cheat with 'Cinema Vision'

I guess this suggests a slightly more configurable interface would be good.

(So easy to say....so hard to code! - Sorry PMG!)
