Re: Handles on instances

Hi, just digging out this discussion: I managed to make the handles rectangular. Nothing validated yet, just an experiment. Do you think it would be better ?
Also note that, when grabbed, the handle changes its color (already in 11.5.x but I made the color a bit more obvious to catch) :

Let me know what you think:
- about the width ?
- about the color ?

Note: I think I can make it even more light-blue. Would it be better ?

I like the width . The light blue handle color is good.

Thank you for adding this.

Thanks :) there's also something you won't be able to see : the layer should be easier to grab, which I admit may help too...

(@joost) If you had done that, wouldn't a simple click on a designated UNDO key fixed it?

When trying to move a layer, it's now really easy to accidentally grab these squares, and removing frames while thinking you are moving a layer. I almost lost lots of animation by this new situation... Almost :)

Thanks Xavier. I once knew that until I didn't. Now I know again. Thanks again. OFF TOPIC: Do you draw your own avatars? You seem so prolific (or rich to afford an artist).

No, I don't draw them :oops:
They're pics from the web, that I adapt. Actually, maybe I should try to draw my own personal avatar :mrgreen:

Hi Paul,

Undo works, but sometimes I didn't even notice that my frames where gone... And the it will be too late to undo...
