zombie key herding...

Hmm, yes - it seems to work if you do it that way... multiselect and IndependentChannel-mode.
But when you try Channelgroup, Motion, Object, you-name-the-mode... you get all of a sudden activated inactive undead keys... Independent channel and multiselect appears to be a workaround unless you have loads of items - a complete hierarchy for instance - to retime, then it really is starting to get really annoying again... :-\

hehe... well, yeah. If you shift with channel group active, it will make sure those 3 keys are made active, etc. And this reveals what the guys at pmG were thinking - it might have been an interesting method. (but it isn't)
Now you know why I wanted the ctl-toggle channel active so badly....
(and got it after only a bit of pestering).

If you have larger hierarchies... hmmm... isn't it possible to get the edit functions working?

(again - I'm not defending the undead, just trying to help out.)

well, yes edit does its job, but it is (would be anyway) soooooooo much quicker in the dopemaster... Of course: there are workarounds but these really can get very tedious, very easy... :-[

I really appreciate how much you care (..as always ;-) ...)
And I am absoultely convinced that there were some rather clever thoughts behind all that but they unfortunately can get in the way very easy also... Hmm...

Still, I think it would a be real blessing to get rid of these pesters. Would make animating with messiah under a tight schedule so much easier - but maybe its just me, and the rest of the world is perfectly fine with it... what do I know ;-)
Well you know me ;-) - don´t you? ;°}

Based on some discussions here in the past I can assure you the rest of the world is not at all fine with it.

No, I am happy to say that for once, the world is united! :thumbsup:
