Then it just me, sorry.

Why would anyone associate person with his avatar, though...

[EricTRocks]

Yeah its dubius on his intention of the comment. Boris please reconsider your comment about "little yellow friend". Not trying to imply that it was a bad choice of words if it wasn't intended but it is unclear.

I didn't get a confirmation mail after my registration was approved either, so he might think his account is inactive. No mail was received, I even checked my spambox when I registered.

Thanks Taro! I really love this small plugin and hope to see these improvements/bugfixes.

• Bug: Using the Set Key shortcut the whole curve goes wonky if the MotionTrail tool is active.
• Improvement: Middle mouse button drag on a point to retime the keyframe, but maintain curvature.
• Improvement: Right mouse button click on curve to add a keyframe on a frame.

Hi, I'm taro who made this plugin.

I have to say this first.

I said "I can't login si-community" in area.
But it was completely my fault.

I was trying to enter my email adress at user name box.
I'm reeeeeally sorry.

Anyway, nice to meet you!

[druitre]

Oooh thanks... this has been eagerly awaited.

• Bug: Using the Set Key shortcut the whole curve goes wonky if the MotionTrail tool is active.

Thank you for the feedback.

I know this Bug. So I made 2 shortcut keys, "K", "NumPad 1" in this Tool. If you use these keys, you can save key usually.
But maybe you use other keys to save key. I'll do something about this, give me a minute. Until that, please use "K" key.

• Improvement: Middle mouse button drag on a point to retime the keyframe, but maintain curvature.

"curvature". you mean curve's shape?
It sounds difficult. I tried this in FCurve Editor, but I couldn't do this. So I don't think I can. Sorry.

• Improvement: Right mouse button click on curve to add a keyframe on a frame.

It's a good idea. I want this too. But I tried to insert key maintaining the curve shape, when I made those 2 shortcut keys.
There are a good method "FCurve.InsertKeyAtFrame", but it didn't work. Maybe I'll try it again, because It sounds useful.

Thanks!

Finally!!!

Would be cool, if the tool doesn't disappear when calling a manipulator and points could be selected with a marking region. It also would be helpful, if we could assign a color to the trails and/or points. I was very astonished about the possibility to select multiple cons at once or adding one after another to see all their trails...NICE!!! Too bad that handles are an issue, though

Thanks A TON for working on this!!!

P.s.: I use "S" for savekey, like in Dinosaur Maya
