This should have 100% been implemented by now, this is one of those “it’s the simple things that make the biggest differences to us”
Separate settings for both minimum and maximum height
a key command for the preference to enable/disable setting
Right click menu on track - option to lock that individual track (can select multiple tracks at once and do same)
This has been discussed for many years in the forums, albeit, not getting a lot of attention, but very logical and pragmatic feature everyone will benefit from. ESPECIALLY, laptop users.
Me personally, I’d really appreciate being able to set a limit on Folder tracks.
Year 2013
In the project window I typically have the un-selected tracks at a height of 2 rows and the selected track at 4 or 5 rows. On occasion there are times when I’d like a specific track to remain expanded even when it is not selected, for example the new chord track. But there doesn’t seem anyway to do this. Whenever I manually adjust the track height, it becomes selected and I’m really adjusting the height for selected tracks. And then when I select another track the track I’d expanded reduces itse…
My tracks spend a lot of time at their minimum display height, to fit as many as possible on the screen at once.
But at that size, it’s not possible to get to the color control button without dropping down a new automation track instead. It’s annoying, especially when creating new tracks, to have to select the new tracks and drag them to a taller size to set them up, before returning them to their minimum.
Can anyone think of a faster way for me to set up tracks?
Just a few pixels taller than…

Is this possible? In 7.5?
I like to bounce audio on vst’s or external synths and keep the midi or vst minimized and muted above the bounced audio.
Is there any way to lock track height for individual tracks? Haven’t been able to figure out how… if I choose other track height presets, or inc/dec height size the ‘lock’ on minimized tracks does nothing to the height…
Whenever ever I use ‘Zoom to Selection’ the track height becomes very large - which is what I want - but it remains that way and I can’t get back to the track height I had before.
I am guessing the only way to deal with this is to set up a zoom preset or use the Undo Zoom command. But I would rather not have to execute another command if possible.

I’ve searched, but have yet to find an actual solution.
The track heights in C8 are uneven, to say the least. I have it set where the one track I click on is supposed to be larger than the others. But, it doesn’t work that way. When I click on a new track, the old track doesn’t go back to the previous state. So, I attempt to fix the tracks by either lining them up manually, which doesn’t work. Or, I hold control that constrains the track heights to 2. But, as soon as I click on a track, the oth…

Is it possible to lock track height on folder tracks? It bugs me when I zoom in that my folder tracks grow as well. Is there a way to disable this behavior? Freddie H made a similar feature request here: https://www.steinberg.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=182&t=64039
Any progress made on this feature request?

Can we lock the height on selected tracks so that when others are expanded/contracted those tracks remain fixed in height?
haven’t been able to find a definitive answer for this, when I create a new track I want to set a default size so i’m not always resizing it after I create it. anyone know about this?

Folders just sort of take up screen room and don’t need to be any bigger than the few buttons they have. Maybe two different static size options and then a free-size option that follows track size.
