This is something that should be Macro-able.
There should be a ONE BUTTON function which simultaneously does the following to the selected track(s)
- Collapses Lanes
- Collapses all Automation
…basically gets all that crap out of yer way.
Nobody asked me, but I have NEVER liked the whole Lanes thing as a separate accordion from the Automation.
How it should work? Glad you asked:
-
The automation and lanes should be on a single pane… a single branch of the tree.
-
The down error should open this PANE. And clicking it again should allow one to collapse BOTH automation and lanes in one go.
-
The automation should appear as a child branch of the tree and the lanes as another branch under the tree.
-
You should be able to reorder whether the automation or lanes appear first in the tree.
