This reminds me of something I was thinking about before - a little 
idea for later since I'm sure you have your hands full at the moment. 
It'd be really nice if there was a 'Snap to Path' constraint that 
didn't automatically animate like follow path does, but just restrict 
the object's motion. This would be similar to how a copy location with 
two axes selected restricts the constrained object to move along a 
single axis, in transforms, in animation, whatever.

It would be really nice to just drag an object along a path 
interactively in the view, to set it where you want it, and also to 
make animation much easier. You'd just move it to the point on the path 
you want it to start at, set a keyframe, then move it along to the next 
point on the path you want it to be at, set a keyframe, and so on. It'd 
be much more consistent with other keyframe animation in Blender, and 
would avoid messing around with clunky speed Ipos etc.

Cheers

Matt
