| Summary | 0003168: Amalgamate the three 'Select/Move' icons | ||||
| Description | I've just been asking in #ardour why Ardour has 'Select/Move objects', Select/Move objects or ranges' as well as 'Select/Move ranges' icons instead of just one 'Select/Move' icon but no-one came forth with a reason. If this has some sound design principals underlying it that are escaping me, please explain. Otherwise lets junk 'em in favour of just keeping the pointy hand icon as our universal Select/Move switch and cut out lots of confusion- at least for the MIDI editor. | ||||

the distinction between objects and ranges from ProTools and has many ardent fans. there are several threads on GearSlutz for example that explore the power of these two editing modes, and talk about the power of linking and then separating them. so yes, you're missing some fairly fundamental sound design/audio editing principles, at least in as much as they affect the workflow used by many ProTools users. range mode should (and will) play no role in MIDI data editing. that's why its taken over by the "draw notes" icon when editing MIDI items. its exclusion is not yet complete, however. |

Hi Paul! OK- just wanted to hear the reasoning behind this. I suppose it could've remained as a request if entitled "Amalgamate the three 'Select/Move' icons in MIDI editing mode" but as it stands I suppose this can be resolved now. |

Marking this as resolved. Once the PT-style modes have been fully sorted out I guess there might be room for improvement here. |
