Summary0005509: Playback controls in animation view
DescriptionThere are several playback controls critical to set up an animation: start and end times/indices, play mode, and frames/duration. Since the Animation View will undoubtedly be the mode of choice for setting up animations, it is inconvenient to go to the Animation Inspector to set these values.

Ideally these values would be added to the top of the animation view (similar to how they are shown in http://www.paraview.org/ParaQ/index.php/Animation_GUI [^]). However, there is a good chance that these GUI components will not fit well in the panel. In this case, maybe the animation view could become a tabbed panel with one tab showing the tracks and the other showing the playback controls and animation settings. Another option would be to remove the track selection from the animation inspector and then default the location of the two views to be on top of each other (i.e., the dockable windows will be tabbed).

Ok. What's the Tracks/All Tracks thing in that image in the Wiki? That kind of threw me off.

I was just think of ways to specify tracks. The Tracks "button" was meant to be a pull down menu that listed the tracks (perhaps in submenus based on the objects the tracks were associated with) that would allow the user to toggle the visibility of a track (or, at least the ones without any keyframes). The All Tracks "button" was meant as a toggle between showing all the tracks and only those with keyframes in them.

I don't know if this is the best method for turning tracks on and off. And perhaps it is not necessary to have them both. If you can think of something better, please feel free to implement that.

I think there's enough room. Did I miss anything?

That looks like everything except for the zoom controls. Those are addressed in bug 0005508, and I assume that you will be working on those separately.
