C14 Name track. That arrow is annoying if moving the track

Hello everyone,
When I move up or down a channel track, most of the times I position the mouse near the name of the track and I find myself pressing an arrow box.
To clarify please refer to the screen capture.

The action of moving the track is then interrupted to find myself trying again.
I find there is not much space left to hold down the cursor for the up or down.
Is there a way I can remove that arrow box in preference?
Windows 10
Thanks
Oliver

As far as I know, no.

You can hold-down on the number area of the track (left).

You can even set Preferences→Project & MixConsole→Enlarge Selected Track, so that you can have more space to use.

Hello m.c
Thank you for the response.
I tried in Mixconsole preference.
When the project is large I often minimize the tracks at a smaller size to have a better view on the whole project. The medium or larger are current edits or the next in line.
The small one if I batch shulffle to move ctrl or shift. I tend to shop for space in order to hold the cursor and then to drag upper or lower.
If a track is narrowed my choices to place the cursor is on the track would be down left or down right. But if I’m going to drag quickly mute/solo will trigger . Read/write can trigger so I go near the Name and that’s where the arrow box opens. Then I down my pace and look for a place where the mouse can be placed.
It’s not a big deal. I still get the job done. But it annoys me. Is it only me or others have mentionned it . I Don’t know for now, maybe other user respond :))

I agree. It’s not helpful when moving tracks. Does anyone actually use track versions?

Settings for the track view! Buttons etc can be moved around or out of the track view to your own likings.

Confirmed…

Yep, but AFAIK, there is nothing in it that could change the Name control layout : only its size and placement can be edited.

On 4 letter word’s I see plenty of room
Seems to be when a track is named
with 2 -3 words
For example like:
Outro Fill In Clap
Outro Fill In Tom

In preference MixConsole if I reduce the size of 8 down to 4 maybe it can help.
I’ll try it!

Ok I’ll stop being fussy about it!
:))
But jokes aside longer names on a track, do make it less spontaneous and more like I need to search for a spot to align the mouse before dragging the channel.

I guess I asked for that!

Oliz ask for a way to remove the arrowbox, and that you can do by opening the cogwheel.

Hello Buer ,
That’s a great suggestion opening the cogwheel.
:ok_hand::+1:
:grinning:

Oh bums, it’s not available in 13. Another reason to update to 14.

More precisisons would be welcomed, as I still don’t get how, once the ‘cogwheel’ clicked, it could help, assuming that it’s truely this one we are talking about :

C14_TrackListCogwheel

When clicking the cogwheel you get this window where you can experiment with showing/hiding, expanding/minimising etc the trackview.
