| Summary | 0003641: Save Configuration | ||||
| Description | At present there is no mechanism for the saving and restoring of Ardour editor config settings. It should be both available as an option to 'Save Configuration' under the session menu as well as being optionally auto-activated when quitting a session. These are the things I routinely alter hence what I would like to see saved and restored by such a feature: Editor window size and position Status of the primary, secondary and nudge clock Timeline settings Size of summary view Size and visibility of editor mixer Grid mode, Grid unit and edit point settings As it stands I'm having to alter every one of the above every time I create a new session | ||||

many of these variables ARE saved at present, but not per-session. clock settings are main exception. |
|
|
Saving of clock visibility setting is key to A3 fitting horizontally onto my laptop display without having to disable the 2nd clock then awkwardly resize the main window every time I start up. |
|
|
AFACIS clock visibility is saved per-session (ie whether the primary and secondary clocks are off, BBT, frames etc.). danboid, are you not seeing this? |
|
|
Fixing 3778 (session templates) may provide the saving and restoring of all the settings I usually have to configure upon starting a new session hence could solve this maybe? |
|
|
Now that creating a new session from an existing one works I can properly comment on this. The clock status and timeline settings DO get saved in the session, but the editor window size (please fix this one if nothing else here!), visibility of the editor mixer and the status of pretty much all the mode buttons - grid mode, edit point etc. - do not get saved or restored under 8887. |
|
|
The size and status (visibility) of the summary view should also get saved and restored per session. |
|
|
I realise this is already down as a b1 issue but I'd very much like to see as much of this issue get resolved as possible in time for the alpha as it affects all users and I firmly believe A3 will be a much more pleasant user experience once this is resolved. I'm spending waaay too much time configuring and resizing the interface as it is. |
|
|
As for saving/loading of settings when loading a session- that mostly seems to work now under 9059 - all apart from the window size which is sometimes restored correctly, other times its a bit small and I have to maximise it but either way A3s usability is greatly improved now - I'm running XFCE under squeeze. The problem with this now comes when restoring settings via 'Use an existing session as a template' as not all settings get transferred to the new session such as window size, visibility/size of the editor mixer and the state of the various tool bar icons and options. |
|
|
things like window size and so forth are not considered part of a session's state. they are considered properties of the Ardour GUI for a given user. to think about why this is, consider sending an ardour session to a user who has (a) a different screen setup (b) different work habits. they don't want your settings, and you don't want theirs. the idea is that these things are more consistent across user-on-a-given-machine than across all instances of a session. |
|
|
Looks like this might be resolve-able: are there still problems? |
|
|
I'd say this is safe to resolve now yes thanks |
