Hierarchy Menu (Tracks mode)
This menu appears when you right-click in the hierarchy area. Note that some menu items pay attention to the mouse location when you right-click.
Home. Scrolls the hierarchy up to the top.
End. Scrolls the hierarchy to the end.
Close except this. Closes all the other nodes except the right-clicked one.
Close all. Closes all nodes except the top-level Scene.
Expose recursive. Exposes the clicked-on node, and all its children.
Close recursive. Closes the clicked-on node,and all its children.
Expose selected. Exposes all selected nodes.
Close selected. Closes all selected nodes.
Copy Selected Keys. Copy the selected keys onto the shared graph-editor clipboard.
Cut Selected Keys. Copy the selected keys onto the shared graph-editor clipboard, then delete them.
Paste Keys into this. Paste keys from the shared graph-editor clipboard into the node or channel you right-clicked on. Keys may be moved from between channels of the same underlying type: for example, Y position keys can be moved to the X position channel, but not the Pan rotation angle. At least slightly clever about figuring out what you are trying to do when moving different kinds of keys into different places, try first, ask questions later. The menu item will be grayed out if the transfer can not be made. Note that pasting into a locked tracker will not have any effect.
Delete clicked. Deletes the node you right-clicked on. Note : the delete key (on the keyboard) deletes keys, not nodes, in both the canvas and hierarchy areas.
View Controls. The following items appear in the View Controls submenu, abbreviated as v.c. Note that most have equivalent buttons, but these are useful when the buttons are hidden.
v.c./To Graph Mode. Change the graph editor to graphs mode. v.c./Sort Alphabetic. Sort trackers alphabetically (modified). v.c./Sort By Error. Sort trackers by average error.
v.c./Sort By Time. Sort trackers by their start and end times (or end and start times, if the playback direction is set to backwards).
v.c./Sort By Lifetime. Sort trackers by their lifetime, from shortest-lived to longest-lived.
v.c./List only selected trackers. List only the selected trackers, ‘Active Trackers’ node changes to ‘Selected Trackers.’
v.c./Per-shot time ranges. When selected (by default), the graph editor keeps separate time ranges for each shot; when you switch shots, the graph editor switches to
the time range for that shot. Stereo shots share their range. Disabled by Lock time to main.
v.c./Merged time range. In this mode (opposite to per-shot time ranges), the time range is considered to be the union of all shots, for each shot, and no automatic switching occurs.
v.c./Lock time to main. The time bar is made to synchronize with the main timebar, for when the graph editor is embedded in a viewport. Not recommended, likely to be substantially changed in the future.
v.c./Colorful background. Show the colorful background indicated whether or not enough trackers are present.
v.c./Remove menu ghosts. Some OpenGL cards do not redraw correctly after a pop- up menu has appeared, this control forces a delayed redraw to remove the ghost. On by default and harmless, but this lets you disable it. This setting is shared throughout SynthEyes and saved as a preference.
