I'd like to see a translate for the camera - so both the look_at and
position parameters can be changed in one control.  It would be most useful
in animations with the animation plug-in.  How does everyone else feel about
that?

Doesn't the track funktion in the 3D-Window work like this ??
I think it was when you press [Ctrl]+[Shift] to active this mode ... or was
it something with [ALT] ??

Either left click, select track, and move or ctl-alt and then
move... only works in the window displaying the camera view, tho.

Hi Mike Weber, you recently wrote in moray.win:

A good suggestion, I'll note it.

Workaround for the moment is to make the camera dependant on another
object. IOW, create a cube and make both the lookat and position
relative to that cube (use the two Set buttons on the cameras Modify
Tab). Then move the cube to move the camera. Set the Export flag on
the cube to off so that it doesn't block your view.
