Walk line visibility

Hello,

One feature I would really like is if I can change the walk line visibility for characters and cameras per page. Almost like it acts with the animation features. Let's say I have a character enter a scene on page 1 and then stands and talks for 3 pages, right now all 3 of those pages show the characters walk line, which A is messy and B makes it feel like he enters in every shot / page when I am sharing the blocking diagram. What I have to do to get around this is keep duplicating the character which is messy.

It's exactly this kind of stuff Frame For Action is trying to automate during export, because I think that any manual way would be a lot of babysitting. The app should be able to guess what is relevant, and then fade things out around it.

That said Frame For Action kind of sucks for auto-framing the page, but it does a better job of only showing the part of a walk that's relevant.

Could you post your example of how this goes wrong in your case?

Ok I didn’t realise the frame for action did that, let me check that feature out more before I reply

Ok I think the need for this is because of my workflow, if I use my pages on a shot per shot basis, then this is a feature I would really like, even though setting up and using multiple pages feels a bit clumsy. If my workflow is to use pages per setup then it doesn't seem as necessary.

I checked the frame for action and it doesn't seem to fade out the walk lines in the way I would like. If it helps I can send an example, I just have to create a clean version first?
