Definitely! That's a good feature, and I'm glad it's the default.

Same here, it's just an annoying step. Deletion of the DAE settings is more of a problem because it affects various plug-ins in ongoing sessions.

That's a good idea too!


I couldn't be the only one... could I? Maybe an extra key that just deletes databases? Too bad d is already used!

i have 7 partitions on my main system and another drive with a couple partitions for os's that comes and goes and then various flash drives and external drives. so just deleting databases is typically gonna be a nightmare, if i am doing that i am trying to solve a problem, so i just delete them all and reset my prefs, quicker than tracking down all the databases.

i have had no reported problems with the balloon tip not showing up. i can check it out. there is no delay programmed into it, as soon as d is pushed in either variation of it and the process is completed the balloon should show up for 2 seconds then the app should exit.

i can easily add a just databases feature.

Does anyone else besides me find that really annoying? I still find it handy to zoom into the edit insertion point when that is on screen, but hardly ever the beginning of a selection. Why can't you zoom to whatever is in the middle of the edit window like when the selection is entirely off screen? What do you guys think?

I actually scripted that over a year ago. Gotta dig it out as it might be on a separate drive collecting dust somewhere. I had a few different zoom styles inspired by REAPER. If I find it, I'll post it.

Hi, sorry for not reading all 50 pages of this thread, but is the tool labeled "Look Ma, I can see them move!" available?

it supposed to allow viewing of waveforms while moving.. (why this isn't a standard feature i'll never know)

some amazing work here btw

That one never quite got finished yet. It had some quirks that needed to be addressed. Also, not enough time in the day sometimes.

...and ya, it's about time we get this feature to make use of the new transparent regions.

Glad to hear it's helped. Hopefully I'll have some free time coming up to create/finish a few more utilities.

I have a feeling guitardom will release TRASHER version 2.
