Hello !!
Here are some suggestions regarding the timeline !
- The play speed slider doesn't need to go under -100% and further +100%, right now the slider is a bit tricky to adjust because of too far extremes.
- Adding a preset "plateau" for the tangent would be excellent. I think a lot of animators are using Plateau tangents and there is no presets for this.
- Several tangents needs to be editable at the same time. A lot of productivity is wasted by doing it one by one.
- The first key at the beginning of the timeline must be deletable. It would allow the animator to create some delay on certain parts into a loop. (About this one it's weird because it's actually like this on a previous version of spriter, the b6.1 I think, maybe I have a bug).
- Some show/hide toggles are really needed. The readability can be really bad when bones are mixed with sprites on the side of the timeline.
- The selection square really needs to be addable with another selection square with Ctrl or Maj when selecting keys in the timeline. Because right now we can only add to selection by picking each key manually one by one without the selection square.
- Being able to create selection sets would be great !!
-Being able to separate translation and rotation would be a major improvement as well, for example to put linear tangent on translation only and bezier on rotation.
- When putting a key on a bone what have children, all the children are taking keys as well, it would be cool if we can choose to do not put any keys on children.
And there is a very important bug I have noticed :
The keys on the top are really confusing because they didn't disapears even if there is no keys under them.
And also, when we change the tangent on a key on the top, it will change all the tangents of everything at this key (I mean even the objects without any keys on this time) which is really not convenient so I think it's a bug as well ? It should rather change the tangents only on the objects with keys ? (don't know if I'm clear with this one)
Great work thank you very much and keep going !
