Zen : I find myself wanting a channel/properties list permanently available #128

Closed philstopford closed 7 years ago

philstopford commented 7 years ago

The item properties/channel list only seems to be deliberately displayed in the schematic mode. I think that's an oversight, because I often want to review specific channels in the dopesheet and graph editor as well.

Item properties may be less useful in the non-schematic modes, I suspect.

What do you think?

adamohern commented 7 years ago

There's a slightly-hidden channels list built into the items list on the left. If you click the thick gray bar to the right of the items list, a properties panel appears. There should be a channels list as a tab in that frame.

Does that work better?

philstopford commented 7 years ago

Ah, those pesky collapsing things. Yeah, that works, but I think you might be able to spare the horizontal space in the dopesheet/graph editor region to make this more obvious without losing viewport real-estate.

It would also save the duplication you're getting from the schematic side, where a user could have multiple such lists open as a consequence.

I can live with it either way, though

philstopford commented 7 years ago

Heh. I reset my preferences and now get a channel dialog to the left of the graph editor. No idea why. However, it doesn't update to show channels for the selected item, unlike the dopesheet. I guess this is related to #127
