Follow path should be able to set counter-clockwise
When i want object to move along path, using the simple method: ctrl-P and "follow path", i can't define the direction, it's always clockwise. It should be 10 minute job to add a button, which determines the direction, clockwise or counter-clockwise.
I've sent lot of these basic functionality ideas past days and i can't understand why they're not in Blender version 4.1 yet, considering the program has been under development for 30 years now... Crazy slow working pace, if i may say...

Edit Curve mode, Switch Direction. Done.
I can't find "Edit Curve Mode". Where is it?
If you cannot select a curve and enter edit mode, I think you should spend a bit of time the manual. Edit mode is a common basic operation.
Ok, i found the "switch direction". BUT... When i select object and shift-select curve and use ctrl+P and choose "follow path", object will follow the curve just fine.. BUT if i go to edit mode and choose "Switch direction", the object will move to different location from it's original position, which is not what i want.
And besides, the "switch direction" option should be in "object data properties". Is there some logical reason it's not?
This I strongly dissagree with and it looks like you don't realize you're using a diamand product for FREE. Using many software programs for many years intensily I find Blender to be the fastest improving software I've ever used. And that for FREE open source software is just amazing.
If your requests aren't implemented (yet?) doesn't mean that the Blender team has a 'crazy slow working pace'. There are more people besides you using blender. And all have different needs and priorities. And everywhere I look I see the blender team working super hard and they are super open to feedback.
Try working with Adobe products, or Maya and see for yourself if they have a faster working pace. I bet you will be super dissapointed.
Please try to stay respectful and place yourself in other peoples shoes first before writing such a thing.
