Extended options for managing frames

Active frame options:

• Make Duplicate - duplicating keyframe - If there exists keyframe in timeline, copied keyframe is added after the source frame and has the same duration
• Clean - removes drawing from keyframe
• Delete - standard delete
• Delete and Slide Off - deletes keyframe and shifts frames to keep duration of previous frame

Selected frames option (more planned):

• Set Duration - you can set duration of group of selected frames with one click
• Repeats - repeats selected sequence of frames - fast way to make loops (this option is not working yet for Blender 4.3)
  
• Ping/Pong - repeats selected sequence of frames (not the last one) and inverts order - fast way to make back and forth loops (this option is not working yet for Blender 4.3)

Toolbox panel

You can fastly change tool without manually changing of interation mode.

Also there is new option for sculpting only last (or last+) stroke .
You can run it selecting "Last Stroke" from the list.

By default it is shown now as a side overlay buttons:

If you prefer old-style Toolbox panel - switch off buttons in Add-on Preferences.

Drawing with Hints

Expected mode - shows next stroke as a reference to draw

Compare Selected mode - highlight strokes of previous and next frame which are equivalent to selected stroke in current frame

Consistent Stroke Selection - option
This gives posibility to focus on the same part of strokes (with the same order number) travelling through keyframes

References

You can add reference drawings/images and edit their properties straight in grease pencil mode.
Use buttons below for this:
- adds reference of drawing before current frame - with "before" onion skin color applied
- adds reference of drawing after current frame - with "after" onion skin color applied
- reference of current frame
- reference of selected part of current drawing
- image reference

Use this button to switch on manipulators for single reference you want to transform.
