Hi Molly,

I can't remember the exact configuration in which I was when it occured. I tried quickly to reproduce it but I could not. Probably one of many strange behaviors which occur from time to time and then, after a reset or a reload, diseapear ( for instance sometimes the arrows to expand the timeline options don't work anymore until you close and reopen it ).

As far as I am concerned it doesn't matter anymore because I gave up using Iclone and went back to Blender. I was looking for a tool to help me clean and mix  existing animations (bvh, fbx, etc.) and it's not it. 

Even considering the necessity to learn the software I have wasted too many hours trying to work around issues or simply to understand the idea behind a functionnality.  I am happy animation is just a hobby because if I have had to work with it professionaly it would have been a nightmare.

I have been a software developper for nearly 40 years and I think I know what I am talking about : The software has a really great potential and some very good ideas, there is a need for simplifying animation,  but the UI is disastrous (we are in 2023!)  and for the eighth version there are still too many bugs. Perhaps the developpers should try to build a real project with the software, this could help them to understand what the user is experiencing, I am pretty sure they haven't try ...

If English was my mother tongue, I would have tried to be more complete and precise in my remarks but it took me long enough juste to write this. :)  

You can close this ticket.
Regards.
Jean-Luc.

Hi  jlucfree,

Do you mean that Motion Direction Control dialog should be opened on the top of the motion clip which you pick?
