Uh oh...

I wasn't sure if we should be using the old "Wishful features" thread, but I wanted a place to put in minor requests that are fairly specific to iClone 6.

If I'm wrong on this, and everything should go in the "issues" list please share your opinion.

"TAB" to navigate input fields:

• Select a prop
• Type in values for X-Y-Z position and rotation
• You have to CLICK WITH THE MOUSE to move from the "X" input box to the "Y" input box
• That results in a lot of keyboard-mouse-keyboard hand action
• .
• You should be able to type the X value, TAB, type the Y value, TAB, type the Z value...

Have APPLY and CANCEL buttons on the Indigo settings panel:

• You want to set the Indigo settings, such as the screen resolution, before you click the Render Scene or the Export Scene As button
• Use the "Render Settings" icon
• There is no "Apply" button
• Your only option is to "X-out" (close) the panel
• In the rest of the world, that acts like CANCEL and your settings will not be saved
• This is CONTRARY TO ALMOST EVERY OTHER SOFTWARE I'VE SEEN
• No settings should be "live" like that
• What if you make an accidental change?  How do you cancel that change?  Put if back the way it was, manually?  What if you didn't notice the old value?
• The Indigo "Render Settings" panel should have BOTH:
• Apply
• Cancel

I'm sure we'll come up with plenty of little things like this.

Not bugs, exactly, not major product features, but some fine-tuning and polish.

I've got a little UI thing that could be useful as well. :blush:

If we could put non-docked panels together to have a floating, tabbed collection of panels, it'd give even more layout flexibility.

It's a useful idea, but I think the topic should be pinned then, otherwise it gets just pushed to the second page and beyond and becomes invisible. 

I hope we can keep this thread clean from unwanted noise of which there is a lot right now.

The TAB key to navigate between fields is an old request, actually, but still useful.

D'oh!  Have you ever pressed the Back key, and your browser goes "Back" and you lose your typing and have to start all over again?

Hi Rampa.  That was quick.  Nice suggestion.

I was already having second thoughts about this thread, especially since my entries were closer to "issues."  Yours is quite clearly an "enhancement."

I'll add one more thing that was on my mind, and we'll see what the reaction is from the community (or moderator).

Two improvements for the LIGHT TOOL dial:

• The "dot" should be GREEN because it is a setting that can be keyframed
• The dial should show the current value
• Ideally it would "animate" during playback
• But at least when the timeline is done moving (you move it by hand, or Play and then press Stop), the dial should show the current value
• That will make it easier to know which way to turn the dial if you want to make a change

Try restarting iClone, JVK. My dot is green.

Here's a hint that War Lord shared with me about lights. If you attach 2 or more together, the parent controller controls all the child lights.

War Lord, feel free to share any hints of mine as well! :)

Well I have a few to spew.

1. The ability to drag tabs into the desired order would be nice. Currently adding a tab to the docked panels pushes the previous top tab down when adding a new one. I would like to have most used tabs at the top then work down to least used without having to undock all then reorder.

2. Please bring back the panel scroll hand grabber. It is easier to grab anywhere on the panel to scroll with a digitized pen, than to grab the scroll bar in a specific location, the color scheme makes it difficult to see scroll bar position.

3. Middle mouse button click equivalent to middle mouse scroll wheel.

4. Allow iC6 to display the user assigned pointer scheme, not the default scheme.

No bugs or noise to report here just, minor enhancement requests, thanks.:w00t::w00t::w00t:

Restarted.  Same result. I wonder why it's not green for me?  I have an AMD card, not that that should make a difference.  I guess I'll have to report that in the "Issues" thread.

The "flash" button is green (when on).  Actually the flash button should always be green.  The icon changes appropriately with a slash (flicker = off) or no slash (flicker = on), so it doesn't need the color to indicate if it's on or off.

My on/off button is green.... but only when on.  On or off, it's still able to be keyframed, so it should always be green.  (So how to indicate on or off?  I'm not sure.)

Cool hint.  Thanks for passing it along.

I came up with another one. :blush:

The new UI is quite nice in its customization, but something about it just feels kind of "busy". I realized that it's all the parallel lines around boxes, tabs, bars, frames, etc.

I think that for a pleasing "flat" design, it might be better to have planes of slightly different grays rather than lines around the same gray for the differentiation.

This may be a self-correcting issue, as RL has spoken of user-creatable skins.

Rampa, you would still need sufficient contrast. If the shades are too close it might be hard to distinguish them. We have older users to take into account, myself included.

---

I don't understand why ui custom color scheme wasn't just added, there are non user assignable swatches in the preference.:unsure: That's just a lazy update path scheme. C'mon RL we really have to wait to add customization swatches.:w00t::w00t::w00t:
