Keith did it.  I hadn't even seen it yet.  Just tried it and found some quirks.  I expected to be able to drag the slider while playing and that doesn't work.  So I thought I could pause and then drag the slider and then unpause and that doesn't work.  Only seems like you can use Play button after moving the slider.

I know you guys will get the quirks worked out.

For me, working this evening with just the laptop (and not my normal 3 screens) being able to start, pause and stop the sequence is a very big plus.

You guys do good work!

Edit:  FYI - if you pause your sequence using the control buttons, you can move the slider to a new location (forward or back) and it will pick up at that point.  It won't do it while it is playing, though.

I'm pretty sure what I said is correct.  If you slide the slider while paused it doesn't start back where you moved it if you hit the Pause button to unpause it but it will if you hit the Play button to unpause it.

The funny part is Keith already checked in a change to fix the Pause last night.  I was just poking at it. :)

I fixed it for media sequences but not for animations. I did try but it didn't work and I ran out of time.

Hmm I thought both sequence types used common events.

Media use the media timing. Animations use some funky elapsed time calculation.
