have fallen by the wayside.
I know the compositor updates as a rendering operation is done, but
didn't the timeline and the compositor progress line also update during
renders at one time?
<pre>I'm pretty sure they did, even if it was a different fork.
</pre></blockquote><div></div><div>Are you sure? I have not been able to either confirm or deny that it ever did in any fork. I still have HV version 4.6.1 running on my laptop and there is no timeline update while rendering or change in the position of the red indicator line (cursor?) in the Compositor -- only the percentage progress bar in the lower right hand corner changes. CinGG was initially based completely on original HV and later on CV mods were merged in.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Unfortunately, I am unable to compile and run any CV version. However I have looked at the following to determine if this feature might have existed at one time:<br></div><div>1) went back to CinGG to its early date of May 9, 2016 -- feature did not exist when I executed a render<br></div><div>2) looked at release notes in CinGG from today back to June, 2016 -- no indications that this feature was removed (so did not exist here)</div><div>3) reviewed list of changes incorporated when the CV mods were merged into CinGG and no mention of this feature<br></div><table class="gmail-cf gmail-An" id="gmail-undefined" cellpadding="0"><tbody><tr><td class="gmail-Ap"><div id="gmail-:10f" class="gmail-Ar gmail-Au gmail-Ao" style="display:block"><div id="gmail-:10j" class="gmail-Am gmail-Al editable gmail-LW-avf gmail-tS-tW gmail-tS-tY" aria-label="Message Body" role="textbox" aria-multiline="true" style="direction:ltr;min-height:284px" tabindex="1" aria-controls=":1q2"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">would really love to see progress line update, and intelligent timeline
sideways scroll during renders.
</blockquote><div><br></div><div>Not everyone would want this feature (but could be an option in the Render menu so I will add a BT feature request) and here is why:</div><div>1) "last play position" is an important feature that needs to be retained in case your render goes bad then it is easy to see where you last edited so you can fix it</div><div>2) if you decide later to do a batch render (because rendering is slow), it is a feature to "render from the current cursor position" so you may not want this to change<br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><pre style="margin:0em"><br></pre></div></div></div></td></tr></tbody></table></div></div>
