Steps foldout closes when playing animation #55

Closed timbo-tj closed 2 years ago

timbo-tj commented 2 years ago

Hey there! Firstly, a fantastic repository! Saving me a ton of time and working flawlessly.

One thing that I noticed is that when I preview the animation in the editor it collapses the Steps foldout. It's a bit tedious.

I make a small tweak to a step, I preview it, need to make another small adjustment but I have to reopen the steps foldout. It really hurts iteration speed.

I was wondering if there was a way to have the steps foldout remain open?

Hey @timbo-tj , I will make that optional! The major reason for folding it out is performance, this is a "heavy inspector" and drawing all the steps inspectors 100 times per second can really impact the animations.

But I will make optional :)

Ok Thanks! And that's fair enough!

I looked at the code and it seems like it's supposed to re-expand the steps panel when you press stop. So I played around with it a little bit. Here is what I discovered:

I tried it out, and it seems a little inconsistent for me. (ie if I play the animation multiple times (press Play twice)) it 'forgets' the fact that it was expanded. So when I press stop, it doesn't re-expand!. ie:

And as part of my workflow I am tweaking some prefabs in the prefab stage while the game is running. In this scenario, the Preview panel does not have a Stop button (I guess because game is running!), so there is no way to trigger the re-expand any way!

Thanks for the report! I will investigate the workflow you mentioned, but for v0.5.0, you can disable it on the settings: image

I fixed the workflow you mentioned, and should be available on the next minor.
