Previously that functionality was obtained from the horizontal scroll widget left and rigth buttons, so I see it as needed since you replaced the horizontal scrollbar by the scale widget. So, yes, it is needed.

I always wondered why we have to wait till animation is rendered before PREVIEW. I understand it has to be rendered before exporting, but preview? As we can move freely in the timeline and synfig is basically vector program so no rendering is needed, can we in preview just move through timeline w/out rendering (just showing frames, pretty much like you would "preview" it by dragging current frame scrollbar, only difference it'd be that progression would be at specific rate).

Like this:

Most PCs aren't fast enough to do this in realtime. It may be possible for simple cases featuring only a couple of layers, but when you start getting multiple complex layers, your preview will not keep up in realtime.

The improvements to the Preview window look very exciting. I was wondering, when you're working on the Preview window, could you make sure it has a "close" icon at the top right of the title bar if you are using GNOME 3.x?

At the moment you have to right click on the title bar and then select close.

In GNOME 2.x the preview window has a close icon, but in GNOME 3.x it is missing.

Pressing the ESC key will close the window too.

Thanks Genete, that's really handy to know - particularly as I'm going to be doing Synfig animation today.

Oh, and Darkhog - the play button under the timeline should behave as you describe...

The current version of preview window is implemented in a dialog widget, but Gnome 3 simply does not include close buttons on any dialogs :(
I planed to use Gtk::Window instead, that will fix this issue as a side effort :)

Thanks for your encouraging.
