Summary0005614: A way to remove several tracks at once.
DescriptionSuggests expanded features for the "Tracks and Busses window"
Ctrl-click multi tracks, right click and remove. Could splash a warning about deleting multiple tracks or even confirmation for each track.

Another way could be to use the current remove in mixer view, see attached screenshot.

The popup displayed could be a window with all tracks displayed with name, active/inactive and so on where one can select all tracks due to be removed.

This procedure is based on Leatuspenguin reaper style multi automation popup as seen in http://tracker.ardour.org/view.php?id=5603
TagsNo tags attached.

I like the idea of incorporating the reaper style window for various operations that involve making multiple choices in one go. I think it would make a massive difference to user friendliness.

One suggestion though, would that option be best served from the drop down menu of a single channel strip if the idea is to remove multiple tracks/channels? What if there was a button beside the add track button in the mixer window that allowed you to do this. So the add icon would be to add tracks/multiple tracks and a minus symbol button would be to remove a track/multiple tracks? It would invoke the reaper style window to allow you to do this.

I agree. A dedicate minus button in mixer is a lot better and makes more sense. But I still think the Window called tracks Tracks and Busses would be a place a fresh Ardour user would go to try to remove/add a things called tracks and busses.. There could be a + and - in that Window too.
