GSoC 2024: Sprucing up the Video Sequencer (Weekly Reports)

July 22 - July 26

This week I got some more bugs fixed with substantial cleanup to retiming selection: #125468 - VSE: Cleanup retiming selection code - blender - Blender Projects

This means that retiming selection is properly hidden in all cases now.
Before:


After:

It also means that trying to toggle retiming keys with the tweak tool is fixed now.

Since I intend to build the connected strips PR off of this one, I’ll have to wait for this to land before I can publish connected strips for review. Still WIP at this point:

For now, I’d like some further input on connected strips:

  1. Now that the naming is different, what should the icon be (instead of a link)? (Maybe a question for UI people)
  2. Should menu operators also respect connected strips, e.g. select inverse, select linked, select side/side of frame? Or just tweak/box select tools?

Feel free to chime in at the dedicated feedback thread.
