Playlist behaviour changed?

[Tweakhead]

The question is - was this change a deliberate act ? or something went wrong ?
If it was a deliberate act, then simply put it back to how it was - there's nothing to compute. Nobody likes this change.

Yes x 1,000. This should be the easiest bug fix ever. Just give it to us as 2024.10.3. AVID?

You really gotta concentrate hard (and take yourself out of any creative workflow) to manage your way through the playlists now.

Still gets me when I'm not looking at the playlist name.

Wish we could get a 2024.3 out but as Tope said in an earlier post in this thread:

Fix is expected to be part of the next major release this year. We expect it to be out by mid year. no exact dates on this but it will be out soon :)

So bug # PT-334697 has been squashed.

You just have to wait a bit.

So essentially, everyone's going to have to pay $500 for a "bug fix" on a "feature" that should never have been introduced in the first place. Common sense would tell any Pro Tools user that this playlist change was absolutely ridiculous, and a workflow killer.

This "operational change/feature/bug" tactic could be used ad infinitum to get users to cough up another $500 every time there's a lull in the renewals statistic.

Customers should not be forced into paying for something that was deliberately broken. We should be paying willingly for fantastic new features that everyone is excited to start using - such as a "Drum Edit Window" . . . you know, like Cubase had back in the 80's on an Atari computer.

Avid should really give Perpetual License users the 2025.6 update for free then, as people would have to pay just to get it fixed.

Otherwise, people would've paid for a year of updates... which they can't use... right?!

Well the way I see it the playlist bug should have never happened. Why was it ok to release 2024.10 that way and move on? Someone made that decision. There's no way that was not caught in the beta trials. What was Avid's goal here? "We've already fallen behind the release schedule, no big deal, we'll fix that later" What's the priority here? I agree we should not have to pay for that!

My Perpetual Ultimate Support Plan expires in 6 days.
Not happy!!

Frankly the fix to such a workflow killing bug introduced in 2024.10 should be free to anyone that has a license for 2024.10. It has been acknowledged as a bug, a mistake...one that has prevented a bunch of people from even using 2024.10 ... and Avid is going to charge for the fix? I could literally never use a version of PT with that playlist behavior.

I wish I could say I was surprised. I love PT but Avid....come on now. You broke it, you fix it.

And no matter how scummy Avid acts, I'll still reinstate my Ultimate when I upgrade to an M4 Mac. You'll get my money no matter what. And that's why you do the things you do. Bah.

This would be a fair solution.
