The script works with 3ds Max 9 and above.
Your idea is good. I will make it in the next update.

Great!
This script is so amazing, couldn´t live without it! Thank you
Just to make sure, the new version (1.5) is not 2013 only?
A cool feature would be to have a button that sets the timeline depending on the range of keys selected. Like if I have a bunch of keys selected that ranges from frame 345-554, pressing the button would make the timeline within those frames, make sense?
Take care

New version (1.5)
I fixed some small bugs in the scripts. Now the preset are stored as frames instead of percentage. It's available to set the zoomed range exactly with the inner spinners. The preset have tooltip ballons, to see the saved ranges.
You can switch off the tooltips and the inner spinners in the settings dialog.

THIS IS AWESOME!
thank you very much!!!
Use the presets
I don't understand well what do you need, but I think presets are useful for you. You have the set the position of the slider only once by manually, than save the current timeline range as a preset, and you can restore it later. You can save 5 presets, so you can have 5 different timeline range in one scene.

It would be cool to have an option to determine the length of the timeline based on the start frame and then how long it needs to be. Example
shot needs to be 144 frames starting at frame 30. There are multiple scenarios where multiple shots are contained in one file. If there was some way to indicate the different sections of shots with a tags or markers so how.
