Want The old timeline back? Here's a work around

I was messing around with Anime Studio trying to find out how to display all the channels. I found a workaround. It takes 30 seconds at max. It's repetitive, you gotta do this every time you start a file.
Here's what you do.

1. Go to Preferences and turn on Consolidate time line channels
2. Go to the time line and add a keyframe on frame 1
3. Turn off Consolidate time line Channels
4. (optional) Go to the sequencer and drag the start line to frame 2

VOILA!

Thanks for that workaround, meltedtoons. It works! What I liked about the old timeline, though, is that you could choose which channels to display, instead of all of them. But this is helpful in many ways.

thanks,
Jack

Great tip, meltedtoons!

JCook, to display only channels of your choosing may I suggest a variation of this workaround?

1. Go to Preferences and turn on Consolidate time line channels
2. Go to Animation>Copy Current Frame
3. In pop-up window enter "1" at "Copy to frame," select your desired channels, click OK.
4. Turn off Consolidate time line Channels

Thanks! Your tip inspired me to do a workaround for the Rescale Keyframes bug.
