| Summary | 0003191: Tools that trim elements should use different mouse cursors depending on which half (end) of the object they are operating on. | ||||
| Description | Tools that trim elements, like regions or midi notes) should use different mouse cursors depending on which half (end) of the object they are operating on. eg. when resizing a midi note the resize note tool trims the left had end of the note if the click and drag occurs in the left hand half of the note and the right hand end if the click and drag occurs in the right hand half of the note. The mouse cursor remains the same though, so on smallish notes it is not possible to know which end you are going to trim until you start trimming. The same is true trimming audio regions. | ||||

i know this sounds absurd, but which tool trims MIDI notes? |
|
|
when in midi note edit mode, it's the stretch/shrink tool, the one that does the same for audio regions. |
|
|
but that operation doesn't work on different "ends". it just stretches or shrinks the region/note. the only thing i can think of that has "endianness" is a button click in the region color bar, the action of which depends on which button is pressed (1 or 2). i can't think of anything that operates on one end of the region or the other depending on which one its closest to. what have i forgotten? |

But it does. If you click and drag a midi note in the first 50% of the note you see the beginning of the note being trimmed, if you click and drag in the second 50% of the note you see the end of the note being trimmed. Which is different to how stretching/shrinking an audio region works. Yes audio regions definitely have endness when trimming. Both with the click (or click and drag) anywhere in the coloured bar and with the new ability to trim by dragging any part of either the beginning or end of the region. Maybe there are two issues here. 1) Why is the stretch/shrink tool needed/used for changing midi note lengths ? 2) Why isn't there just a sensitive area at the beginning and end of a midi note that triggers the trim tool (like with audio regions) then you wouldn't need to select a new tool to do it. |

svn now contains the changes outlined at the end of the previous note. |

I believe this is all fixed up now; please re-open if not. |
