  • Suggestions for improvements

Hi Nate and the entire Esoteric Software team!
I worked in version 3.8 for a very long time, since the project was implemented specifically for this version of the API. Now switched to 4.1. A lot of new and interesting things have appeared, but here are some points that I would like to see in the next updates of the program:

1) Hot key and method of screen selection of all child bones.
[

2) Advanced bone splitting feature. Fibonacci is not always a convenient option for splitting bones, since the last bone turns out to be quite short. I suggest adding a slider for the length of the split.
[

3) In Edit Mesh hold alt key to switch modify mode

Thank you for your attention!

Thanks for taking the time to make suggestions! Great video mockups!

Also welcome to the modern Spine world! 😆 3.8 has gotten quite old. I hope you find the UI much improved, especially the tree and graph. There's a proper graph! Be sure to check out the favor tool, it's very useful for blocking out poses then doing inbetweens.

1) Hot key and method of screen selection of all child bones.
Double click is deselect and ctrl+click is multiselect. There's a Select - Descendant Bones hotkey, is that sufficient?

2) Advanced bone splitting feature.
True, we should be able to do this in 4.2.

3) In Edit Mesh hold alt key to switch modify mode
I think we can do this, just need to double check that alt isn't already used for something. Right click cycles the tool, but it's not the same.

Select - Descendant Bones
That's what I need! Perfect! How did I miss it? Thanks a lot for the tip.
