I don't really understand the point of this, and don't really consider this as too much of a benefit.
I do understand the need to be able to add keyframes tagged as 'breakdowns' in an easier way, and for that I do intend to add a way to choose the type of keyframes inserted. However, the best way to present this functionality is still a bit unclear, though I don't think this is the right approach. > > 2. My second suggestion is to more keyframes management tool/handler.

This sort of tool has been on my todo for a couple of months now. Basically, it's pending work on a generic manipulator widget API before work progresses on setting this up. _______________________________________________ Bf-committers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers
