color code ticks to the Timeline frames

Hello, You are a genius!
I have a request;)
You could add color code ticks to the Timeline frames.
For example: KeyPose = pink color,
Extreme Pose = purple color,
Breakdown Pose = cyan color,
Inbetween Pose = yellow color, etc.
Thank you.
Sorry for my English;)

Thanks for your suggestion.

Thanks for your suggestion. Sorry for late response. I will sync extended timeline with max's default timeline.

Sync with default max shortcut for setting start and end time

It would be great if you could sync the extended timeline yellowbar when changing default max's timeline length via CTRL+ALT+(RMB,MMB,LMB) as I find this method a bit faster than dragging on the end's of the yellow bar because with max's method you can drag anywhere in the timeline to do this, if this is not possible maybe add the same shortcuts to your script?

Thanks for your time and congratulations on the great work, I understand the difficulties of working on public scripts as I'm one casual maxscripter myself.

Cheers!

Runtime error

I migrate to new PC and after ET install allways getting Runtime Error: fileIn: can't open file C:\Users\*****\AppData\Local\Autodesk\3dsMax\2014 - 64bit\ENU\scripts\Heavenly Pictures\Extended Timeline\extended_timeline.mse

If I run extended_timeline.mse manually from this dir - everything is good..

Win7, Max runs "as administrator".
