Overlay hotkey

[mkriukow]

Hey guys, in production we often toggle between 2 sequences to spot the difference. in MRV the wipe 100% on and 100% off does the trick, but is there any way to hotkey a toggle for that? Alternatively toggle A/ B would do is, but it's slow, seems to load every time you switch.

There's no built-in toggle, but you can create one rather easily with the python API. Look in python/demos/contactSheet.py to see how you can control the compare modes and look into python/plug-ins/ to see how you can create a new menu entry for new custom command.

Actually, I was wrong. There is one. By default Alt + w will toggle the wipe for the A and B images. Of course, you still have to select the B image in the Compare Panel.
I have now added all comparison modes in v1.3.1 so you can easily add hotkeys to all of them if you desire.
