Render Queue improvement ideas - sorting and management

[Mike Choo]

Hiya, just a couple of quick quality of life ideas that could make working with the AE render queue a bit easier:

• Add a button to collapse all completed renders - this would make seeing what's going on with multiple exports much easier, and save some clicking around time.
• A modifier version of that button (e.g. Shift-click) to remove completed renders from the queue - again, quick timesaving QoL idea.
• Add the ability to invert the queue order, so that newly-added items are at the top of the list instead of the bottom. (Or maybe the ability to sort by column title - the Status column would be really useful for this)
• Add Overscroll to the RQ panel, so that if the most recently-added items are at the bottom it's possible to scroll past them to reveal some space to expand menus into (this is an extension of this request: https://community.adobe.com/t5/after-effects-ideas/allow-overscroll-in-the-timeline-panel/idi-p/1322... that I made on an old account)

I reckon any or all of these would help improve the user experience in the RQ.

Cheers,

Mike

Update with additional comments from Robert Kjettrup:

"I would also love to have a progress bar that would be more adaptable in its size, so its not so tiny when not used full screen. I really do miss the wider progress bar we had in the version a couple of releases ago before the UI update of the topbar in the RQ, where the progress was the full width of the RQ panel. Maybe when it was twirled open it could become wider?"

And also:

"the overscroll is something i hope will be standard in every panel in AE."

I do really like the idea of the progress bar going to the full width of the panel when twirled down, that would be nice to have the extra visibility, particularly if working on small screens or laptops.
