Default Spinning ball when changing track size!!!!

HI

Just wondering if anyone else is having this problem and if they've found a solution.

Not always, but when I hit 'e' to reduce my track size after doing some close up editing, I get the 'spinning beach ball of doom', it can last from 10 seconds to (well I'm still looking at it spinning now).

Any solutions happily accepted, especially as it's a Saturday!!!!


I'm on 7.3.1
HD3
Mac osx 10.4.8
2.5 G ram


Oh, and whilst I've been typing this, it's finally stopped spinning.......... longest one yet....!

Cheers

Default Re: Spinning ball when changing track size!!!!

Hi,

Is this happenning in every session or just this one? if its just one session then try opening a new session and using "import session data" top import all the tracks to create a new session incase it was a corrupt session!!

If its on many sessions then try trashing the database files on all hard drive's and the database folder in app support/digidesign

Also try the trashing the prefs as described in the troubleshooting tips...

Cheers Chris

It's happening on every session. I wondered weather it was a common fault.

I was just waiting until I loaded up the next session before I trashed prefs, having just seen JC's app, I may use that and see how it goes.

Thanks again
Al.
