| Summary | 0005195: 'Follow Playhead' and 'Auto Play' should have their own always-visible buttons. | ||||
| Description | both 'Follow Playhead' and 'Auto Play' are things it's useful to be able to toggle on & off quickly, and also it'd be nice to be able to see their states somewhere in the editor window. Perhaps a couple of buttons with LEDs could be squeezed into the toolbar somehow: maybe an extra column of buttons? | ||||

I like this idea and suggest introducing a second column with: * Follow Playhead * Stationary Playhead * Auto Play What do others think? |
|
|
We had auto-play for a long time it was replaced with Follow Edits. A 2nd column may break the min-size 1024px requirement. |

Right, it would most certainly break the min-size requirement so it's not an option to always add a second column. Maybe making those buttons configurable would be nice. E.g. either 1) Make those 3 buttons configurable such that one can choose an arbitrary subset (of size exactly 3) of Internal, Follow Edits, Auto Return, Follow Playhead, Stationary Playhead and Auto Play. or 2) Make it possible to add an arbitrary set of those buttons such that one has between 0 to 6 buttons there. Then they are grouped in a 3x2 matrix where first the first column is filled and then the second one if more than 3 are selected. This is especially good as peoples workflows are quite different and this makes it nicely customizable for every single workflow. The default could just be the current 3 buttons. Then no min-size requirement is violated but people who got bigger screens can use that additional space. |

How about just making the second column of buttons conditional on Profile->get_small_screen(), like the secondary clock already is? |
