Great! Thanks a million.

Thx ! merci ! (trop top!)
I'm triyng to customize the color of the mark…
It does "something" when I'm changing the last number of the Georges script affected to each colored button…
… but I can't see a relation between this number and the color I'm obtaining…

How can you obtain a specific color ?

This is becoming a very interesting feature!
Is there a way to have a button (=keyboard shortcut) that advances to the next or previous image mark *of the same color*?
This would enable flipping of keys/extremes/etc all on one layer. I'm impressed with this concept in general.

This is a great help for distinguishing between keysdrawings, breakdowns, inbetweens, slow ins/outs, etc, etc.
Thanks so much!

Amazing stuff Herve!
This has been a long-time feature request. So nice to have.
Thank you!

Next step: integrate it somehow into the timeline panel (in the similar fashion the layer-colors are integrated, but collapsable)

Hervé,
This is so great!
Thanks so much!

--Now here's a tricky modification, not necessary but would be very cool--
Go to next/previous image with same color mark as current image (no effect if current image has no mark).

Good idea.
Create a new Action and add this code in a Embeded Grg Script
Go to the Previous Current Color Mark:

Code: Select all

tv_layergetimage
image = result

tv_layermarkget 0 image
color = result

tv_layerinfo 0
PARSE result state position density name type first last xxx

FOR i = image-1 to first STEP -1
   tv_layermarkget 0 i
   IF ( result == color )
      tv_layerimage i
      EXIT
   END
END

Go to the Next Current Color Mark:

Code: Select all

tv_layergetimage
image = result

tv_layermarkget 0 image
color = result

tv_layerinfo 0
PARSE result state position density name type first last xxx

FOR i = image+1 to last
   tv_layermarkget 0 i
   IF ( result == color )
      tv_layerimage i
      EXIT
   END
END

This new option is getting better and better.
I've made some adjustments to the appearance of the buttons and added the "previous/next current color mark" buttons.

Herve, is there a way to make layer marks undoable?
If I click the "Clear all marks" button (even accidentally), the marks are removed with no way of bringing them back.
The only way is to recreate the marks from scratch.

Is it just me or?

If find it very Annoying that if my next image mark is outside the timeline view. lets say Im at the start and the next imagemark is at the end frame 100000
then if I press next I go the the next frame but the current frame is now outside the timeline.
Its because tv_layergetimage goesn't upfade the timeline view like for instance tv_exposurenext
And I have been complaining about it before. But is it only me??

I'm a huge fan of these image marks. I use them a lot. But found one other feature that could make it even better.

Sometimes I have been working on an animation without marking certain extremes. Sometimes some of those extremes are reused (i.e. cycles). Now I think it would be nice to be able to mark one and the soft immediately marks all copies of the same drawing. This way you immediately see where those drawings are reused and you immediately recognise your cycles.

Don't know if this should be an option (seperate setting) or just the only way it works (all copies are always marked). For my use it could be standard, but I don't know how others work with these marks.
