3.3-13-g649cf18 has greatly improved this although the channel strip still gets wider, albeit a lot less, when adding a stereo plugin. |
|

Stereo meters are wider since 3.2 and IMHO they should be. One solution to make the track-width independent of the channel count would be to add more padding to the mono-meters. OTOH that does not scale for 3 channels or more anyway. Is the current (>= 3.3.13) behavior inconvenient in some way so that it should be changed..? otherwise I'd mark this as wont-fix. |
|

So this is intentional? It's not inconvenient at all but I thought it looked odd but if it's a feature, that's cool. So the purpose is to allow for extra width for extra channel meters? |

It is a side-effect. The intention is to make meters more legible: In normal (not-narrow) mode 5px wide for each stereo channel and 10px for mono. Plus border. The meterbridge even uses 6 and 12 pixels respectively. Another motivation is to balance the meter-width with the 24px wide meter-metrics (dB scale). Those width were found empirically by Chris 'oofus' G. and myself during the 3.2.X devel cycle. Anyway, the general layout & design will change (again) in the near future with the inclusion of the standard IEC and VU meters in Ardour. They will have a fixed color schema and design according to specs. (See the "Vertical Bargraph PPMs: comparison of IEC 60268 PPM scales" at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peak_programme_meter ). General integration and mixer-strip oddities should be addressed after that. |

Thanks for the feedback. I guess this isn't relevant for now then. I'm liking where the metering is going though :) |
