List of requests

[Joost]

Hello again,

I have new request:
It would be very handy if you could move your timeline when you have selected some frames, without deselecting the frames. Now it deselects the frames automatically, so you are not able to check if the selected frames are the right ones.
(and something else: maybe shift-select extra frames if?)


Another thing: sometimes when I have two frames and I want to move the right frame with the transform tool (or sometimes it also happens with other tools), the light table doesn't update immediately (so I don't see what's in the left frame, but I still see the image from the frame left to the left frame). then I first have to move a frame to the left and then to the right or switch my light table on and off to see the changes in the light table.

And the last request, but I'm not sure everybody will agree with this: When I move the layer I'm working in, the timeline cursor moves. I don't like that. Could it maybe be an option to keep the timeline cursor on the same spot while moving the layer I'm working in? Or is it already an option?

Hello Joost =)

It would be very handy if you could move your timeline when you have selected some frames, without deselecting the frames.

I don't have such problem here : when I move my timeline, I keep selections.
Did you mean "when I move IN the timeline" ?

Now it deselects the frames automatically, so you are not able to check if the selected frames are the right ones.

Okay, so yes, you were talking about moving within the timeline.
Hmm, that can be complicated, but I must admit, it would be useful.

Another thing: sometimes when I have two frames and I want to move the right frame with the transform tool (or sometimes it also happens with other tools), the light table doesn't update immediately (so I don't see what's in the left frame, but I still see the image from the frame left to the left frame). then I first have to move a frame to the left and then to the right or switch my light table on and off to see the changes in the light table.

We had a similar problem, but normally it has been corrected in TVPaint 10.0.3.
I cannot reproduce the bug... would you have an example ? Maybe I misunderstood you !

I completely agree with you here.

when I have two frames

If you change something in the right part of an exposure, the instance must be broken first before the lighttable could detect the instance's head as a frame being different from the actual frame. Usually I switch to brush and tip in the frame with the eraser, then go back to transform.

Sometimes when I break the instance, and then use the erase lasso tool to change the image i've drawn, the light table doesn't show the right image. It still shows the previous image (I use tvpaint 10.0.3.). But I can't reproduce it everytime. I think 60 percent of the time it works fine...

I just now noticed this:

-I would like to have the possibility to zoom in further into the timeline. Now I can't really see what I drew in each frames.

I don't see much sense in that because you can easily click there and see the frame full screen. The new marker features (v10) also should help.

I have often wished for this myself and was getting ready to ask for it too. There is a difference between clicking on a frame to see the image in the project window, which is that one could quickly select the frame just by glancing at the timeline rather than hunting for it frame by frame. It means you can "scrub" with your eyeballs instead of your mouse. Also I like to have a perspective of how a certain drawing fits with the layers directly above and below before I decide which image I will click on to redraw.
