On the UI front, here are my thoughts and priorities: First, I feel like we have some things that are unfinished, which should be high priority to get done ASAP:
Mainly things like: - Dragging on a selected item should move all selected items (https://developer.blender.org/T57918) Currently we only support the Node Editor for this. Being able to drag your selected elements around is such a basic thing which we left unfinished, that I think we should try and do this asap - Tools & gizmos ‘Simple’ gizmos for more tools (https://developer.blender.org/T66304) Interactive Create Object tools (Pablo Dobarro started on this. https://developer.blender.org/T57210) Inside-the-camera gizmo (https://developer.blender.org/T57234) - Themes We never included additional themes for 2.80. Not super important but we promised to do it. I will assist picking them and testing them again. Additionally, I expect we will do some of these UI-related merges: - Outliner GSOC (https://developer.blender.org/D5388) - File Browser UI (https://developer.blender.org/T62971) - Text Editor UI (https://developer.blender.org/D5028) Also many other patches related to the Sequencer UI etc. I also expect to assist with UI layout and feedback for things like LANPR and other new features. Other things I really hope we could do for this release: - Multi-Object Properties Editing (https://developer.blender.org/D4948) - Checkbox Aligmnet tweaks (https://developer.blender.org/T65965) - Toolbar for the Sequencer (patch already done by Campbell) - Toolbar for the Clip Editor (https://developer.blender.org/T57846) - Convert NLA sidebar to Python, so we can start to make this 2.8-compliant. Bigger design-tasks & projects: - Asset Browser (https://developer.blender.org/T54642) Since this will be a key core part of Blender’s UI and workflow, we should really get started with this, so this project doesn’t keep slipping forever. At the very least we should have a plan for how to proceed - Everything Nodes. I expect to continue working on the Everything Nodes design task, with input mainly from Brecht and Jacques Lucke, and others (https://developer.blender.org/T67088) - Drag & drop support for UI elements (https://developer.blender.org/T67893) > On 26 Jul 2019, at 08.00, Dalai Felinto <[email protected]> wrote: > > Dear developers, > > Which areas would you like to focus on in the next few months?
