Annotations Connected to the Individual Videos in Compare + Hotkey Swap in Compare Panel

[Runenash]

It would be great if annotations made on a video would be tied to the video it was drawn on. Right now if I have two videos and I make a drawing on one, the drawing is going to be over the other one as well. In Compare mode, any drawing made on the B section will also be lost

Additionally, when using the Compare panel. being able to swap the viewing between A & B quickly using Hotkeys instead of clicking in the Compare panel will be a great help. This will allow a fast way to see the differences between A & B.

This is sadly a limitation of mrv2's and tlRender's drawing pipeline. Basically, drawings are drawn after the videos. This is done to allow zooming in and out the drawings and see them without "jaggies" as they would be if drawn at the resolution of the videos. It also allows drawing outside the main window area.

In order to achieve what you want, drawings would have to be drawn with the videos and they would be limited to the resolution of each video and merged into tlRender's pipeline. Another problem if that if the drawings are tied to the videos, their colors might get picked by the color picker.

This I can do. In fact, I had already created a hotkey for selecting "Compare None" but did not list it in the hotkey preferences window.

This has been added in v1.3.7 just released.
