Summary

The Sequencer/Preview Menu is a mixture of both the Sequencer and the Preview menu functions, but they are currently not presented in an organized way with ex. the zoom functions together and the show functions together, and there is a double Zoom(box) entry in the menu. and some Preview show functions, where not exposed in the menu. Shortcuts for the Fractional Zoom menu: D5341

This patch fixes it this way:

  • Moved the Preview Zoom functions up next to the Sequencer Zoom functions with a separator in between.
  • Moved the Preview Show functions up next to the Sequencer Show functions with a separator in between.
  • Uncommented Show Framenumber Indicator, since it does not work or have a function after scrubbing in the timebar was implemented.
  • Renamed Show Metadata to Show Image Metadata, since it does only show metadata for images.
  • Added Show Annotations to View Menu for consistency.
  • Added Frame Overlay to View Menu for consistency.
  • Added Fractional Zoom to a sub-menu, since Sequencer/Preview View menu became too long. This sub-menu is in consistency with the Fractional Zoom menu in the Image Editor.
  • In Sequencer/Preview mode the Fractional Zoom will be named Fractional Preview Zoom, to specify that this function is only for the Preview.

Note: The Metadata panel is only showing (EXR+MKV) Metadata(when Blendmode is Replace or Cross in the Sequencer). With this very limited use the Metadata panel should be moved to the bottom of the sidebar Sequencer+Preview panels, but this can only be done in C, which is outside my abilities.

Ok will keep an eye on this

Renamed "Show Image Metadata" back to "Show Metadata" because apparently it also extracts metadata from Matroska video files.
