Custom animation: Show time bars and "time" cursor
Last modified: 2014-05-04 19:09:24 UTC
Impress shows animation preview with the Play button (in the Custom animation" dialog.) But when there are multiple objects with several different (complex) effects, it is difficult to analyze just what is going on. Like MSPowerpoint, show a time bar for each object. When playing the selected objects' animation, Impress should show a vertical line running across these bars, to show the part that is being played in the main screen. This way, the user can better correlate the scene on the screen with the composition he has created. Also allow the user to- 1. Pause and resume the cursor, so that he can freeze the picture and see the effect in detail. 2. Drag the cursor to and fro with mouse along the time axis, to see the effect in forward/reverse motion. (This is like operating the shuttle/jog dial on a VCR)
