v6.00 Track Wiring

[DarkStar]

Can we have:
-- a Preference to open the view with all tracks collapsed
-- functions to Expand All / Collapse All
-- mousewheel scrolling up/down or left-right
-- modifier+mousewheel scrolling left-right or up/down

That will make viewing and navigation much easier.

Also, is there a good reason for outputs to be on the left and inputs on the right. Seems to make the wires much longer.

Looks a bit like Google Maps

yes, zoom would be good using same settings as elsewhere (scrollwheel for me).
I quite like the linear connectors but not the dangly cables - they get in the way of seeing what is in the boxes so it would be good if they could be either linear and a different colour (my preference) or at least "pinned" out of the way of the boxes.
Apologies if I have missed these features and they are there already

My vote: MMB drag to pan up/down/left/right, and modifier (or not) + MMB scroll to zoom in/out.

And, agreed. I'm assuming/hoping there are navigation improvements planned.

As well as customizable MWHEEL+modifier navigation, I'd like a MOUSE3+modifier pan in the Track Wiring pane (same idea as in the arrange pane).

I think we should be doing some design ideas for this.
One of the REAL benefits to a nodal view that is easily forgotten is MIDI Routing between Instruments and FX.

Actually, here a breakdown of features that would make it worth while:

- Audio and Midi Channel Routing.
- Zoom and Pan controls (configurable with mouse(wheel) modifiers)
- Group/Container Nodes (like in Blender), these could also be actual JSFX container FX (like a native version of Bidule or ImageLine's MiniHost), FX that are in a Group or Container JSFX instance can also make need of an extra column in the Project Bay for such occasions, maybe something like a Parent FX item or something.
- Faceplate/Macro assignments (hopefully a native start of something like LBX Stripper)
- And maybe there should also be optional colors for Audio and Midi paths as well.

Anyways....
How about we start designing some layouts for this.
I believe it is worth the time, b/c a Nodal view is something we should all embrace, b/c it is the most intuitive way to route things inter and intra-track.
