[Request] [Sequence Attachment] Automatic show and hide the attachment

warmanw

This is how it looks a simple animation of sequence attachment.

We have to manually toggle visibility on and off. When the timeline is expanded, the animation remains the same, but the attachment keys are being stretched—so everything has to be adjusted manually. Please help us improve the workflow. Maybe attachments could be hidden automatically? I know it sounds odd for one timeline to affect another, but it's really hard to work like this

warmanw Could you clarify what you mean when you say that attachment keys are being stretched for sequences, and how are you expanding the timeline? do you mean you are box selecting the keys and resizing the box to make the animation longer? (more screenshots or a video could be very helpful!)

warmanw Thank you for your feedback! Actually, I also found it troublesome to add a key to hide the attachment at the end of the sequence attachment, or to manually adjust the timing of the key to hide the attachment after changing the FPS of the sequence, so I created an issue ticket to improve this workflow here: EsotericSoftware/spine-editor912

Yes, using box select to stretch all timelines doesn’t affect the FPS of sequence attachments—that's a separate issue.
What I actually want to talk about is automating the show/hide of sequence attachments. Right now, I have to manually show the attachment, play the sequence, then hide it again. Ideally, I’d just play the attachment, and it would auto-hide at the end frame.

Maybe this isn’t feasible with the current structure—I know it sounds illogical—but I wanted to bring it up in case there’s a simpler solution I’ve overlooked.
