GUI Icon display of Loop Mode setting of clip.
This is a very simple request. It would be good to see what loop mode a clip is set to on the dashboard.
I recently ran an awards show that didn't need any timelines, just clips on the dashboard. For quite a few cues I had the playback set to auto follow - but when running the rehearsal I found a few I hadn't set properly. Not a major but on another show I had the same 'problem' but could check without fear of clicking off a cue as the show had started.
This could have been easily spotted if there was a little icon in the corner of the thumbnail on the dashboard. It could even be only shown when in 'Edit board' mode.
Even better would be if you could click the icon and choose which mode its in.

I agree this would be extremely helpful. With the number of changes made last minute, it really does become critical to see what the loop mode is on every tile. This has burned me a few times.

I'm still not seeing an indication of the looping/freezing status of clips in the GUI. Maybe we weren't clear about what we want. Yes, there's an indication WHILE it's playing in the running timecode status section, but that's too late for me. I want to be able to look at ALL the clips in a timeline and see their looping state at a glance on their thumbnail without playing them first.

I have the exact problem. I obsessively check and recheck the loop state of movies during shows because occasionally I have forgotten to take them off infinity loop or can’t remember if I made them auto follow and don’t know if I need to click them myself when they end. I desperately need an indication of how they are set to behave!
