A rough draft of linked strips is up! https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/124333
The code is not yet ready for review, since there’s still some bugs with icon drawing (unrelated to the PR) that will have to be fixed. Versioning will also need to be updated and I’ll merge main into the branch once everything is tidied up.
Additionally, there are already a couple operators in VSE that use the term “linked” – bpy.ops.sequencer.select_linked()
and bpy.ops.sequencer.select_linked_pick()
.
I’d like further feedback from people on this point-- could we rename the front-facing names for these operators something like “Select Adjacent” and “Select Adjacent Pick”? As I mention in my feedback thread, the ‘select linked’ operators for VSE don’t operate on any kind of linked data, and only select strips that are directly bordering one another on the same channel, so it’s a bit of a misnomer in this case, IMO.
But please give me your thoughts:
