Hi everyone,

Didn't found that anyone has reported about this so I want to bring this up.

When working in the Views editor, selecting a frame box in a given loop changes the selected frame in the Properties panel, which is great. However, it does not change to that frame in the Preview which is essential for seeing what frame you're working on when you're dealing with high res graphics with small details.

This makes the process of seeking for a specific frame for adding audio very difficult, especially when the view loop has a lot of (not very small) frames in it, which already takes about a second for changing from one frame to another.

Is there a way to make the selected frame to sync in the preview panel, and to also make it work vise versa when manually changing frames and loops with the small arrow buttons in the preview panel, so the current frame that shows in it will be selected in both the row of frames of the loop and in the dropdown list of frames in the properties panel?

I'm aware that this might make the entire View editor to perform even slower then it already is when working in high res graphics and a huge amount of frames, but perhaps we can have an option to turn such sync feature on and off? Or instead to just have an input box for writing the frame number that shows in the preview to select it, or to have another button in the preview panel for selecting that frame. I think that an input box or a button will be the more effecient way in terms of performance.

Thanks
Gal Shemesh,
