Hi. It would be nice that: 1 - The animation should not start automatically when we start introducing the frame rate. It should start after "Enter" key pressed or by pressing a start button. 2 - An option for looping/no looping should exist. Useful specially if "Dump Pictures" is checked. 3- In order to facilitate several animation sequences easily, a field should exist for the sequence number and the .png name would have some of the most significant digits allocated to that sequence number.

Ooops, one more: In the preferences window it would be nice to have a field to define path for the animation files dump.

Related to #3, I filed Issue 1573 a little while ago requesting $frame, $frames and $fps for animate use/reference inside the code: https://github.com/openscad/openscad/issues/1573 <https://github.com/openscad/openscad/issues/1573> Andrew. > On Mar 22, 2016, at 2:54 PM, jpmendes <jpmendes54@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi. > > It would be nice that: > > 1 - The animation should not start automatically when we start introducing > the frame rate.

Let me add one more request I think useful too: Why not implementing an echof() a echo() to a log file? So one can decide which changing parameters to record for analysis or for future use. For example: constructing tables, record the changing of values during an animation, etc. . I mean a file with only the contents that we decide to record, not a replica of the console output. jpmendes -- View this message in context: http://forum.openscad.org/UI-animation-fields-operation-mode-request-tp16663p16672.html Sent from the OpenSCAD mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
