9 years ago Currently, there are two buttons that have the same filter image. The one on the left is actually a create clip button (we still need an image of a clip or something like that for the button). Creating a new clip used to be done from the right click menu. Right now, when someone is making a clip they select text and right click to 'make a comment about the selected text'. If you have an idea for clip UI I'd be interested in taking a look at it. I am not married to the right click functionality.
As far as the filter button goes, since we are doing less filtering on the client side we may be able to replace that. If the user wants to adjust the filtering they can just click the 'playback' button which will bring up the filter menu.
At present, in the playback area of the frontend, we currently have a custom right click menu that takes precedence over the browser's right click menu.
All of the functionality in this right click menu can, and should, be moved out of the right click menu to other places. The simplest option would be to expand the command pallet section of the bottom bar and add the ability to create clips to the commands bar.
While somewhat outside the scope of this specific issue, the frontend could be changed to have two bars, one directly related to playback (the slider controls, play/pause button, stepping buttons, and speed), and one with more general commands (the filter menu, clip creation, storyboard downloading).
