Default Locked item should bypass ripple edit, not disable ripple.

4. Locking items should bypass locked items from ripple, not disable ripple.


[img]http://img337.**************/img337/1760/lockripple.gif[/img]
GIF above shows what happens when an item in a project is locked,
ripple all mode doesn't allow dragging of items. It makes a lot
more sense to bypass the locked items from being affected by ripple all,
rather than totally disable ripple all. Much needed when cutting down
long projects into shorter versions.



e.g : when doing an ad of 20sec, 15sec, 10sec, usually the
longest (20sec) will be done first, then we cut it down into 15sec.
Ripple all mode is best for this, but sometimes there's a track that
you don't want affected by ripple all. Not happenin', there isn't such
a choice. Tough luck.

Also, how bout more options to enable/disable marker/regions from being affected by "ripple all mode"? Ripple is a very powerful tool which makes Reaper stand out amongst the DAW crowd, it would be great to expand on this advantage.

Cheers!

I'm not quite sure if I got this right but please let me try.

You are saying that you want to lock, say top three items in you picture. Then, with Ripple editing all tracks enabled, you want to be able to move the bottom two items (and any other non-locked ones as well), without moving the locked items?

Yes, that seems not to work. If Ripple editing per track is enabled, it's possible to move non-locked items as long as none of the locked items are selected. If Ripple editing all tracks is enabled, nothing moves.

Yes you got it.

This is because there are some instances where I wanted to move everything (with ripple all mode) EXCEPT one file in the middle of the whole arrangement, it's just not possible.

There's no way of doing that except to dully select all items, then painfully deselect each an every item you don't want moved.

If we had an option such as "locked items ignores ripple all" or "locked items do not restrict ripple all" , it would be so much more intuitive for this kind of editing.

I would like this ,I think there's a few things that Ripple could use to make it much more perfect

the below is one example

Indeed. What MBN showed is also one of the missing ripple features that could be improved with a toggle option.

Come on guys, just provide a way to bypass/ignore items with "X" from being affected by ripple mode. Please.
