Re: Patch for a new feature : sozi

Hi

This is the expected behavior.

I want to keep a coherent sequence. So when i change the sequence number of a frame, i want to shift other 
frame in order to keep the sequence coherency.

The remaining problem is that i can't update the others frames... So we only see the change when we select 
them.

Concerning the problem of accessing the parent layer, i think that i can't do other way. You never needed to 
keep global information before (to the sheet lifetime, or to the program lifetime) ?

If i let the user manage the sequence correctness, i don't know what to do in case of errors...

I had an idea for the format of the frame legend displayed in interactive mode : i could put a format string like "# %d : 
%s" that could endup with, eg "# 3 : frame title".

Regards.

Paul.
