Reply To: "Paste" inconsistency

Hi,

To reiterate: If I change it to the way acousmod describes, then you have to select the very first track that has any selected events on it, to paste events to another time location on the same tracks.

If the rule is always the same, I don’t think that it can be a problem :

– click on a clip
– copy
– click on a track
– paste

It is the behaviour in Cubase / Nuendo and doesn’t seem to be so annoying…

But what do you think about an option in the preferences to automatically select the track when selecting a clip ?
It is what happends in Samplitude and others : when you click on a clip, its track is selected and if you paste at another position, the same track is used.
If you click on another track, the clip is pasted on it.

The way it is done in Tracktion, Vegas or Reaper seems to me extremely clever.
You click on a clip to select it (the track is automaticaly selected) and copy it :
– if you don’t select a track or click somewhere, the clip is pasted after the first one (in Tracktion) or at the cursor position on the same track and then after the previous one (in the others)
– if you select a track, the clip is pasted on this track at the cursor position
– if you click somewhere in the track area the clip is pasted at this position on the corresponding track.
It is hard to make more intuitive to use, and it works the same for multiple selection.
