Patch Review & Decision Time
Decide:
-
T95386: Unify “Key” menu of Dope Sheet and Graph Editor
- The original idea was to add just one menu item for the Euler Filter to the Dope Sheet menu.
- That triggered the question “shouldn’t these menus be the same?”
- There was no overwhelming “yes, these should be the same” response from the module.
- Decision: just add the one Euler Filter to the dope sheet menu, to avoid adding things that haven’t been tested well yet.
