Now toolbar buttons will be shown at their correct image size, which is allowed to be anything and not required to be square.
So some of the odd toolbar behavior people are seeing is due to bugs, but some is due to REAPER now respecting the theme image sizes. Once 66a is out we can figure out if any remaining oddness is caused by remaining bugs, or is just because of people's custom image sizes.

very much a bummer for me... to NOT have this "buttons were always converted to 30x30 regardless of the size of the actual button image. "

thanks Airon... yes I have ways to batch convert outside of reaper, which is what I have to do for those files... but thought since they are rather common file types these days that it would good if reaper could handle them directly.

Thanks for letting us know, schwa. Although I'm a bit sad it isn't gonna cut it in the first official v4 release. If it were included, MIDI editor in Reaper could be considered somewhat enhanced, from naysayer's point of view (and that would bring some new users to the table). But ok, as long as it comes along, it's gonna all be good. I hope we won't have to wait for 4.5 or something!
Can we at least get the click-on-item-name-to-switch-to-it going on, in the alpha cycle? Pretty please?

What do you think the right solution is? If a theme had 32x32 buttons, they were getting squashed and made to not look right. If a user wanted to have a special arrangement where some buttons are bigger than others, they couldn't. Respecting the native image size fixes both of those problems.

Good thing too, before this turns into another POV-Ray v3.7, now under construction since January 2005...

I have tons of trouble with the midi editor not opening, docked and at the right size.
Similarly, gluing midi items together clears and closes the midi editor. So if I've carefully selected half of the 300 midi items in a project to display in the editor, one glue action wrecks everything requiring everything to be reselected.
In comparison to constantly having to reselect every other midi item in the project, open the edit, redock the editor, open the midi filter and set the position; docking the midi filter is a non issue.
When gluing items that are among many in the midi editor, Reaper should simply add the glued item to the midi editor list if one or more of the items was being edited.
p.s. The 'open all track midi' functions are not a useful work around if one is using takes, for very obvious reasons.

It now can be docked left or right (of a docked to the arrange midi editor) and will close when you close the midi editor (just need it to re-open too)
That's not too bad but no good for people who use it in a separate editor.

...and I use it as a separate editor, so yeah, that's no good for me. Well, waiting on v4.x then.
Anyways, I still think the issue of MIDI editor opening with wrong size and position in certain unpredictable cases is something that needs to be looked into!

V4 Snap Settings
schwa,
The new snap setting is working great!
Could there be an option to leave the snap settings window opened, or pinned/docked?

I love the new sizes for the toolbar icons.
I'm trying to find out if I can easily move toolbar actions from one toolbar to another without starting over. ??
I have too many on my favorite custom toolbar in the smaller size.

Thanks - I'll give that a try. I was dreaming for a minute and hoping to drag from one toolbar to another. Then I woke up.

Looks like there's a problem with the toolbar icons size in alpha 66 with Classic 1.x theme.

I'm sure you will, but please keep the option to dock the MIDI filter anywhere … not just the MIDI editor. I use a dual monitor setup, and it works perfectly docked to the left edge of the Arrange area on my right monitor, with the left monitor free for only the Midi editor. I can toggle it open and close nicely with the F key, when I want to expand the arrange area.

Alpha 66a
If I have a few custom toolbar icons in the default 4 theme, then switch to a custom, or classic theme, the default 4 custom icons remain.

Yeah, this would be really great to have. I'm surprised this isn't possible already and would be a great workflow enhancer. I'm convinced I would probably use the snap dialog more effectively if I could keep 'er open all the time, if I wanted.

why icons shows more lighed in others themes butons?
and for the theme team...I don´t like pan knobs at the end, could be posible to pan faders by default and knobs by layouts?
and about meters you could be assume automatic vertical/horizontal meters by default like this: ?

personally, I think undo is still brutally slow and has been since days one for me (last summer). Sure an empty project with 4 tracks, undo is zippy, but as soon as I have a real project with busses and Vst's, I actually try and avoid undo as it's just so slow. It was one of the first things I noticed about Reaper, i made threads etc etc. If you ask me it's still just not cutting it. It shouldn't take 4 seconds to undo 1 automation point.
I'm sure it's better now for some, though Im sticking to my guns on this one, undo is still brutally slow.

First, thanks to the developers for the new features of this latest alpha. They are fantastically useful for me
Secundo, it's true that a resizable docked MIDI filter would greatly improve space management in the main view.
... and why not a collapsible piano key/MIDI CC panel to provide further space? That would be useful. I wouldn't go for resizing on that one. Just collapsing and bring it forth when used.

Also, nick's RADO theme has a great ability to make it's labels automatically sideways when making the TCP really thin horizontally.
This would be amazing in the default theme (if it hasn't been put in recently)

Do you have VSTs set to save undo state as this maybe part of it?

Okay, umm, where did the Media Explorer go? It's totally gone now. I even tried to access it via the Project Media/FX Bay under source media and also the media items tab, nada.
What happened to the ctrl. alt x shortcut for the Media Explorer?
Am I missing something here?

You may have accidentally unchecked it in the installer. I did the same thing a while ago. It's here in 66b for me.

If you mean in the Prefs>compatibility - I've tried both options, there is no difference. Undoing an automation point (say volume) is equally slow on a track without a VST or buss. I've tried every tweak suggested and posted threads, like I say from day one, I was like - whoa what's up with the undo, and it still hasn't changed. Pardon the off topic whining, but it's true. Admitedly it is in bigger projects that where it suffers, though just because there's 40 tracks, it doesn't mean undoing 1 automation point should bring it to a grinding halt - imo
I'm a bit ranty, though undo doesn't cease to frustrate me daily, hence i try to avoid it as much as possible - which sucks

+1000 This is what I was thinking last night while working with 66a. The window kept slipping away from me whenever I clicked elsewhere. Then I thought to myself:
"Self," I says, "it would be good to have ALL the main toolbar features with windows to also have pins to keep them in front." And then I realized that this "Self" character was onto something.

resizing a floating windowless toolbar as small as it can go leaves it a complete bugger to resize up again - minor though irritating!
all the other stuff - fab. thanks.

Hi,
Im thinking u have a mac issue..xp32 here, or the mac equivilent of ur Reaper.ini needs to be rebuilt.I had slow undos and general sluggishness starting somewhere in the v4alpha cycle.but now undos are IMHO faster than ever in 66b.Rename ur AppData Folder..or whatever its called on mac....and see if this helps.btw this is with 64 or so track in a project that uses 1.2 gig.Hope this helps ...
Guido
