Maya: Time slider highlight

Is there any way to “highlight” keys from a range int he time slider? The only thing ive found is the scaleKeys thing where you hold shift and drag a range on the slider. I don’t want to change the ranges, just show on the slider where a range of keys exist.

Thanks

I don’t know of a built in way, but if you want to be on the bleeding edge, you could probably attach widgets to the time slider through QT. I imagine that figuring out the scale and position of items on the slider might be a huge task in and of itself. Careful you don’t accidentally rip a hole in the space-time continuum.

i had thought about that, but before ripping any holes, i wanted to make sure i wasnt missing something :slight_smile:

Thanks

Funny enough I raised the same question to tech support last week as I want to do the same thing for the Red9 studio pack, have the timerange functions reselect the range after they’ve processed but it seems there’s no current way of doing so.

Autodesk dev’s reply:
You can do mouse events with Pyside.
You can’t do a mouse button drag in Pyside, it’s a Known Qt Limitation.
You can use ctypes on Windows to mouse down and mouse up at appropriate times to properly do the drag.
For other platforms, you’ll have to find other solutions.

If you do find an answer I’d be very interested

cheers
