[Solved] Short cut for animate button

Support
1

Hi everyone, I recently exported a file from Inkscape as .sif file and imported it into synfig but when the document opened the animate button was missing
as a work around I copy the file into a new doc with that button
Additional help/information is appreciated

You have to edit the canvas properties and set the end time to, say anything like 120f, a different frame. Once you do that, the animate button will appear.

thanks I will try it out

@ktim can you share your file so I can check this?

Hi mr, am surprised I didn’t give feed here only a “will try it out” but your response of changing/editing worked perfectly well otherwise as for the file,is it possible to post it here or other means?

6

Yes, you can just post it here if possible. Thank you!

What is your synfig version and OS?
I can’t reproduce this problem on current stable 1.4.0.

8

I think by the time I raised this issue I had the previous stable version which I later uninstalled so the current stable version is better off & I think won’t produce such a problem

Ok. So it was in version <1.4.0, and we don’t support them anymore.

Anyway, some future release will provide a shortcut for toggle animation mode :slight_smile:
