This actually undermines workflow for both curves and keyframe spreadsheet editing.\r\n\r\n- you need to have the function editor constantly visible in order to use the curves editor. I think that is a problem too. It's good that we can now split them - but it's not good that we need to have them both take up precious screen estate when most of the time in many cases people need only one or the other open.\r\n\r\n- The context sensitive editing area that shows values has been partially removed in opentoonz.\r\nIt no longer works on curves or with the curves editor at all. \r\nThat was a very useful feature for viewing and editing selected curves and keyframe values. \r\nIt's one that if developed further could allow us to execute math operations on a curve - the way both maya and blender's graph editors can do (*-1 on y would flip a curve vertically for example, *1.5 horizontally would make it 50% slower ) \r\n\r\nPlease note how small the channels list is in opentoonz as compared to toonz harlequin. \r\nfor people with one monitor and especially people on laptops this makes it quite unwieldy to use.\r\nWhen working with curves, we need this list to be visible and to show as many as possible.\r\nVery often the animator has to find curves and toggle their visibility on and off. This is done through that list.\r\n\r\nWe do this so often that some other software such as blender even have a 'filter' search box to make the process easier:\r\n\r\nhttps://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Tnboma/Doc:2.5/Manual/Animation/Graph_Editor#Display_Filtering\r\n\r\n> You can filter F-Curves by channel names or text by clicking the Magnifying Glass icon, and entering text. Only channels containing this text will be displayed."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/opentoonz/opentoonz/issues/comments/217157596","html_url":"https://github.com/opentoonz/opentoonz/issues/234#issuecomment-217157596","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/opentoonz/opentoonz/issues/234","id":217157596,"user":{"login":"blurymind","id":6495061,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/6495061?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/blurymind","html_url":"https://github.com/blurymind","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/blurymind/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/blurymind/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/blurymind/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/blurymind/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/blurymind/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/blurymind/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/blurymind/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/blurymind/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/blurymind/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-05-05T13:42:54Z","updated_at":"2016-05-05T13:42:54Z","body":"The interface is still pretty bad if you are using a laptop though :) \r\n\r\nThank you for the explanation.\r\nIt's strange that when using harlequin I got these handles to show right away - without all the extra steps explained here"}}
