Default Feature req: Recognize selection after play

Hi,

AFAIK currently the "write to selection on stop" only accepts the selection that is made before you press play.
While editing BGs I often press play somewhere then grab a fader and then I want to write that static level to the whole area.

Problem is that PT does not recognize a selection or change of selection done while playing so when you hit "write to selection on stop" it either writes the info to the wrong selection or even worse to the whole track (when there was no selection before you hit play) destroying all the work before and beyond your position.

I´d like to see an option that PT recognizes the selection even when it´s made while playing.

Or am I missing something?

Thanks,

Frank.

Why does hitting "write to selection on stop" destroy the automation on the whole track (if you haven´t made a selection before hitting play)? when there's no selection I would like PT to do exactly what it said: nothing.

Thanks,
Frank

Yep, this almost burnt me couple of times.
Use preview/capture, it's more humane.

bumping this because it would still be much better if this were the case. Please Avid can you look at improving some of the advanced automation behaviours?
