I think this behavior exists mostly because its the easiest / cleanest to implement. I know I've used embryo animators in the past to avoid this on things with simple transitions, but I also would like to see edje transition from the current state whatever that is.
We could probably just modify the transitions to make a copy of the current state when a transition starts. They would then use those values as the start values for the transition (e.g. modify the call to _edje_part_description_apply() on line ~480 of edje_program.c to use the true current description instead of rp->param1) As always, patches are welcome :) -- rephorm On Saturday 13 May 2006 18:37, Simon TRENY wrote: > Hi everybody, > > I've noticed that in edje, when you start a new transition on a > part while another transition was already running, the running > transition jumps directly to its final state in order to start the new > transition. > For example, if a part has 3 states (state1, state2, state3).
