[Bf-taskforce25] Sequence editor buttons - Re: [Bf-blender-cvs] SVN commit: /data/svn/bf-blender [20673] branches/blender2.5/blender: initial support for sequencer UI layout, anyone wants some monkey-work there are quite a few effects panels to do.

[William Reynish]

Absolutely agreed.

Apart from being more logical, putting them in the editor's sub-region  
also makes it easier to maximize that editor, and still see all the  
relevant properties.

I don't believe an 'n-key' sub-region has been added to the Sequencer  
yet though. Perhaps Brecht or Ton can help? It should then be very  
easy to move the python layout to its proper home.

Cheers,

-W
