[SOLVED] Choose layer name width

schwarzgrau · Post by **schwarzgrau** » 16 Sep 2013, 12:52

I got a lot of layers in my project. I've already got problems naming them, but most of the time I can't identify the layer by it's name, cause I can't read it.

Since I got a lot of space right from the names I would like to choose the width by myself, like I did it here in this mockup

Maybe this is already possible and I just can't find the right spot, but if not it would be really helpful.

sorry, not possible at this time.

I suggest you use "layer Finder" by Svengali. It'll stretch to any length you want it to and it makes for a nice and quick overview of all your layers at a single glance. Put the name into search and it should point to the tvpx plugin location.

Not what I expected, but still really useful. Thank you Paul.

In the to do list (but don't wait for it "for soon" : any change in the timeline takes ages).

That's some good news. Thank you Elodie.

I thought I could maybe ask again for this feature, cause one year passed and you told Lukas in a similar thread :

I'm glad to hear this and I'm sorry to ask you again. I always feel a bit like someone browbeating you, even if you already working on this. And I know even small changes take some time. I just don't know how to find out which feature are still in work and which are maybe already forgotten.

The timeline in tvpaint is probably the most complex élément to modify. The slightest little change needs other changes around and so it needs a lot of time.

Please be a little more patient : it will be worth it

No as I said i don't want to browbeat you. I'm really happy you still working on this and I'm really curious about the outcome.
