My proposal is that everything stays the same, but the tiny section of the ruler (the height of the currently selected track, aka the “paste” position) blink a bit, so that you don’t have to trace horizontally to see where on the ruler the active track intersects.

I'm ok with the new cursor. It's not aesthetically pleasing, but it's functional.

Frankly though, I think it's an odd way to resolve the issue compared to keeping the old cursor and just highlighting the active track selection in the arrangement view. At least, that's my gut reaction as to how to address it. Pretty sure that's what my other two DAWs do.

The idea of a blinking cursor, even just the portion that's the height of the first active track, seems distracting IMO. Wouldn't care too much if that were the ultimate decision, but I prefer non-blinking things.

May I suggest that there would be number next to search results, showing how many results were found in each folder (including subfolders). This way it would be immediately obvious if some folders have zero hits. And the number would also show which folders have many desired results in them.

That could work, but 99% of the time I wouldn't even need to see a folder that doesn't have what I'm searching for. It's just extra clutter imo.

Default blinking cursor

You can already set the edit cursor to blink with Theme tweaker by setting the edit cursor and edit cursor (alternate) to different colors. So blinking alone won't necessarily help to see the selected track.

Thanks for fixing the MX shortcuts tree view keyboard inconsistencies that I reported a few builds ago. Sadly, I now discovered a couple of annoying problems with the browser's keyboarding behavior that also appear to be regressions (Tested under Windows 10)

Firstly, if you tab from the tree into the browser, then tab again, you're stuck just tabbing between the browser and the shortcut tree. If you want to reach the other controls, like the search box, you need to Shift+Tab which focuses all of the controls how it should.

The other regression is that the media browser started to do what the tree did earlier and is now executing actions instead of doing the appropriate function for list view navigation, with the more frustrating problem that if a key doesn't have a MX specific action set, it performs the global Reaper action instead of just letting it through. So as an example, I unassigned the home and end actions from their defaults of rewinding and fast forwarding the preview, which allowed them to perform the usual function of moving to the first or last item in the list. In the current dev build, even though home and end still have no actions assigned for the MX, instead of selecting the first/last item the keys now cause the edit cursor to go to the beginning and end of the time selection. Other keys similarly effected include Page down and up, which are supposed to move 10 items down or up in the list, any keys involving shift, IE Shift+Down/Up, which no longer let you select multiple files from the keyboard, or first letter navigation - IE pressing R should just focus the first item starting with an R, now it just causes Reaper to start recording.

That feature is sill listed in the dev change log (under July 11), but to be sure you could do a portable install to a temporary folder and check.

1) What tracks are selected
2) Where is the edit cursor

2 is already handled by the edit cursor being a long vertical line.
For 1 it is significantly easier to spot track tinting compared to a small thick part in a straight line.
Track tinting also helps with various other things as we have lots of actions that depend on selection.
(Having both like Ableton Live does it in the footage above wouldn't hurt)


If track selection tinting is going to be implemented there are a few things to keep in mind:
* The color should be tweakable, we really don't need another instance of this.
* It should have an outline color, and a fill color, seperately in the theme tweaker
So much this.

I think the pitch knob at Media explorer should go to 12 and -12.

Which brings up the point that the pitch/rate settings should be put closer to that respective knobs. The same for search options.

pitch knob needs help in general. you're kind of screwed if you're trying to demo a sample that's a little sharp or flat - the pitch wheel is useless since it quantizes to even +-1 intervals without first applying a fine tuned base

Thanks, I looked, but there is no action like "Replace source in selected media Items", although while right-clicking on a file, such an option is provided : Use as media source for selected items, but it is not in the list of actions.

I think we need options.

I think it’s a good idea to highlight the cursor at the target track, but I’m not a fan of a thick cursor -it gives the impression of a reduction in accuracy at the cursor “point” and makes me twitch. I’d prefer options for cursor width/colour/blinking for this purpose -maybe letting the user combine these for 9 pixel wide flashing neon green and pink if they wish

For what it's worth, I really don't like the thick cursor as well. I'd prefer a track tinting solution, similar to the active note row in the MIDI editor.

This makes me think that the thickness (and other attributes) of the cursor should generally be adjustable independently for selected and unselected tracks.

I'd probably make it 35 px wide to have my home-made pet peeve.

The thick line should just be the normal width and give it its own color in tweaker, that's all it needs for me.

As long as it remains tweakable and we can set it to a color identical to normal arrange view for odd and even tracks. It could become very annoying if it was implemented in a way like the muted track color which can’t be accessed and changed.

+1000!

I guess what I mean is a theme tweaker entry for:

Selected track background (odd tracks)
Selected track background (even tracks)

While at it, an option for muted track background would obviously be amazing.
Speaking of unthemeable elements: I turned off faint peaks on folders after moving to v6. It used to look like an awesome shadow, now it looks like... well.. this

That sounds good for me too. Like planetnine mentioned earlier, thicker line makes the cursor feel not as accurate.

And if there would be two user defined colors in the theme tweaker like there is currently for the edit cursor, people could have all the blinking combinations too, with different or same colors.

Not only will the background turn white, but the font will also change to a Windows font, the same size as it appears in Windows Explorer.
Also, some characters and notations are garbled.

I think the thickness of the editcursor should be leftaligned and not centered.
That way the indicator doesn't muffle up the actual time position at which pasted stuff would be included.
And the thickness should be settable, so I can decide, whether one or no pixel is enough or if I need even more.
