1.) That’s the truest thing you’ve said yet in this thread.
2.) You might also be projecting.
I think I’ve proven my point and you’re struggling with that, so I’ll now be the king that has mercy on you instead of beheading with my sword…
undeleted posts:
Well if you stop thinking about excessive over the top metaphors, you’ll see that I’ve helped you refine what it is ‘exactly’ you are asking for and how to ask for it more concisely… Because your OP is quite long yet sort of vague, and when you ask for something like ‘Group Editing’, the devs might just say, “well we have lots of methods of group editing”.
What you are looking for is
1.) Track Selection “group” saving with a list - the ability to save track selections to a list making their re-selection much faster.
2.) Track Selection Based Editing Mode - range selection, split-tool, etc automatically applies to all track-selected events
No folders needed, no folder group editing needed.
*edit*
I made an FR for current functions to get you. maybe halfway there at least when it comes to range selection editing. For split editing, you’d have to use my other methods which is just a few key commands:
Preference FR: 'Auto Update Range Selection for Already Selected Tracks’
Here,
I even did a mockup of where the Quick Track Selection List could be (expandable in the Project Visibility Track List)Collapsed
Expanded
There could be a key command to prompt a search window similar Track Search window, that is for searching Quick Selection Groups, so all you have to do is type “DrmToms” and it selects DrmToms… ie ‘ctrl+alt+f’ + ‘DrmTom’ + ‘enter’ and those tracks are selected.
This way the visibility window and expanded list doesn’t need to be opened in order to do quick selections.
And or, there could be key commands 1-9 for up to 9 selection lists that would initially be auto-id 1-9 as the user creates them, but could be manually changed so specific instruments are bound to hotkeys they have memorized.
This is one of the things you want right? The second being the track-selection based editing.
What you should be focusing on - is further refining my refinements… not that I referred to myself as a king, which I intentionally put in the post to see if you would focus on it or not (because, i am, a king)
