Session import Modifier Keys Inconsistency

[TommyT]

Ok, does this really not bother anyone else ??... when importing session data.. selecting additional, other, or deselecting tracks from the import session.. the modifiers to use are unrelated at all to apple standard, or Protools standard..
select an additional track without deselecting Should be SHift.. select all should be Option, etc... etc.... Should be the same as selecting tracks in the edit window.... NO ? The import track window is the opposite of intuitive...

Am I missing something ? or is this a known complaint.....

or am I on drugs ?

Just a 10pm spontaneous frustrated outburst from a veteran user...

Actually, it should be COMMAND-click to select non-contiguous track.
Shift-click selects all in the selected range.
Option-click is not the mac select all -- only in protools mixer.

It's not perfect, but once you remember that you don't have to hold down command, you can simply click away. I do wish this dialog box could be expanded to full screen, like normal dialog boxes.
