Color Coding Timeline Seqence Tabs

When doing a whole bunch of sequences, it would be wonderful to have the color of the timeline in the media panel, match the color of the tab that is opened in the time line.
Please see example.

If others like this idea I will add a feature request.

I like the idea. What would be better is for all the tabs to be in the same order no matter where you look be it in the library reels to the left, open tabs or on desktop reels: top down, left to right. And quite this right to left stuff unless your ui language is in Hebrew, Arabic etc. Please. The inconsistency is killing me.

Add color tabs is a great idea. But not forget more room for sequence’s names in tabs. Truncated names waste a lot of time and lead me to endless errors.

Hi
Have you looked at the pref that affects the TAB order for opened sequences?

Thanks @johnag It seems to break when I put things in alphabetical order with localised sort.

I maybe not understanding correctly but I have all my lists set as localised by name and my pref for the tabs set to

And everything is in alphabetical order in the tabs.

Maybe you have applied the localised sort at the desktop level and not the reel group level or sequence level. I noticed that it doesnt follow when this is the case.

@johnag it’s this that I’m talking about.

On the left hand side: localised sort in clips of a sequence reel doesn’t propagate through to desktop (centre) and then sometimes the tabs get mixed up. It’s confusing.

Maybe I should just manually sort them if it’s more solid. Is that what you advise?

It will be easier for me to show you. When you get some time we can meet in the help channel and I’ll screen share. Let me know when it suits you.
