Set Exposure Value for a single instance
Posted: 20 Feb 2022, 16:32
Hello, TVPaint friends,
I am now returning to actively using TVPaint after several months of a detour into the TB vector world. (also some ongoing stressful personal circumstances which have occupied my non-working hours for the past couple of years , a long , complicated situation I can not bear to discuss ... ) At any rate, it is good to be back and I hope to be more active on the TVPaint forum again.
Here is a small issue I noticed in my previous version of 11.5.3 from October 22, 2021 and I see is still present in the latest version of 11.5.3 from February 14, 2022 :
When I right-click on a single instance and want to extend it's exposure , the pop-up menu used to give me the option to Set Exposure Value . I could increase the single instance from 1 frame to whatever numerical value I typed into the Set Exposure pop-up . However, since version 11.5.3 Oct. 22, 2021 I noticed the function has changed a bit. Now when I right-click on a single instance the menu pops up , with Exposure at the top of the menu and under the Exposure menu are options for Repeat Images, Break Instance , Remove Instance , Set Exposure Value , but these are all inactivated (greyed out) if the instance is only a single frame. If I manually extend the instance's exposure to two frames , then right-click on it , the Exposure menu is now active. I would like to request that it go back to the previous behavior where the Set Exposure Value was active if an instance only had a single frame of exposure. As I said, it is a small thing , not a huge problem, but if it is possible to revert to the previous function of Set Exposure Value it fits my established workflow better. (and yes, I understand I can set a keyboard shortcut for Set Exposure Value , which will work even if the instance is only exposed for a single frame , but that is just one more keyboard shortcut I must remember and I grow weary from the many keyboard shortcut combinations I must already remember. If I could have this one small functionality restored to the right-click menu on the timeline I would appreciate it. )
