There are already Plans for a NaviagtorDialog Window
for the GAP, to provide a better GUI
for some of the GAP basic functions.
The Navigator Window has Buttons like
a "VCR Console".
[ |<< ] [ < ] [ > ] [ >>| ]
There will be a Listbox with a scrollbar.
(similar to the Layers and Channels Dialog)
The Items in the Listbox are
Thumbnail Icons of the AnimFrames
and a label that shows the frame Number (0001)
and another Label that shows the
frame starttime (min:sec:msec)
For the Thumbnails I will use the
Icons in the .xvpics Subdirectory.
(Therefore most GAP functions
must be extended to update
the .xvpics/frame_0001.xcf icons as well)
A doubleclick on a Thumbnail
takes you to the selected AnimFrame.
(the GAP Goto function)
A single Click will select the frame
(ctrl, and shift to select
additional frames or framerange)
There will be Widgets with Spinbuttons
where you can enter a global framerate
and a timezoom. With the timezoom
you can adjust what you'll see in
the Listbox.
timezoom==1 shows:
frame_0001
frame_0002
frame_0003
...
timezoom==10 shows:
frame_0001
frame_0011
frame_0021
...
Further Buttons
[ S ] .... Select All Frames
[ X ] .... Delete selected Frame(s)
[ C ] .... Duplicate selected Frame(s)
[ U ] .... Update Thumbnails
Playback:
A Playback Button could call
- Video|Frames To Image
(for the selected frames) and then:
- Filters|Animation|Animation Playback
on the generated Image
It'll take some time to implement
the navigator ...
(do not expect the GAP navigator in gimp 1.2)
