Re: Remember location in Anim Editor per curve.

2014-01-22 Thread Luc-Eric Rousseau
if what bothers you is that you'd like to have the curve framed when
you switch curve, there may be a work around for that.

You can turn on View-Auto Frame Curve
and then also turn on View-Selected Parameter

You're now in a Maya-like mode, where only the curves you pick in the
explorer are visible, and they'll be framed automatically

A large part of my time is spent flipping between these different

I don't think it's quite possible to make it unambiguous given
that it'd probably be a considerable amount of additional data,
and that you can mix and match curves into conflicting views.

Maya does something like that if I remember right, but Maya's is
both a singleton view and has severely limited context
capabilities, with the upshot it tends to get less tangled and not
as over-optioned as Soft's FCeditor.

I'd love to see undo's per channel as well.
'Buffer Curves' is s 2002. Let's get a history of undo's per channel
