@gzarkadas, thanks for your input.

Your points are all valid and need to be taken into consideration. However, I feel that the gain in usability outweighs any small performance penalty (and in my view, the overhead here is likely to be pretty small).

Sure, you can work around the problem in the ways we have identified (including my plugin ). But, if current_frame had been global from the start, giving us the features I described, do you really think we'd be sitting here planning to take it out because it was slowing things down too much?

That said, I can understand people are reluctant to change something that has worked 'well enough', especially at the request of someone relatively new to Avisynth like myself. Maybe the idea needs more time before it catches on.

What do others think? (Or are gzarkadas and me the only ones interested in this issue???)
