Volumefader tooltips showing wrong values (FIXED)

[Dstruct]

volumefader tooltips showing wrong values:

-> open the routing window of a track
-> enter -8dB

=> fader tooltip shows -8.02dB


it's not the same for all values. but some don't show up correctly in the tooltip!

FIXED (1.809)

[Dstruct]

can you confirm this guys?

Sure is - in 1.16
happens in mixer and TCP
only shows with +9..-9db, where two decimal places show.

looks like the tooltip uses a different formula or rounds differently or something

right-click on fader
set volume value in the form of <+->n.nn decibels
close dialog
read correct value at bottom of mixer or right of TCP
mouse over fader
read different value from tooltip

[Dstruct]

thank you!

I think fader tooltip uses dB=20*ln(amp), which is -8.02(7466551..)
While the fader itself uses dB=2^(amp/6) or dB=6/ln(2)*ln(amp), which is -8.00 (exact).
Or vice versa, I dunno.

no way to correct? this drives me nuts sometimes.

When I open the demo project, or enter a number, they get out of sync. when I drag with the mouse or wheel, they stay in sync. Better than before, but not actually fixed.

It really does look like two different formulas that need to be exactly the same.
