2.32

[Zynewave]

• Redesigned the graphics of track events. The events are drawn with a drop shadow and slightly rounded corners. This appearance matches the new design of note events that was introduced in Podium 2.31.
  
  
• The sequence event headers are painted with the same color as the track header. This applies when the "show sequence event headers" option is enabled in the tracks region dialog.
  
  
• The color of a track event is brightened when the mouse cursor is moved over the event. This is similar to the note event highlighting introduced in 2.31.
  
  
• Optimized the painting of note event drop shadows. Removed the outdated shadow option in the notes region dialog.
  
  
• The Note Map dialog will show plugin key names, if supported by the plugin.
  
  
• Lowered the minimum size of note events when resized by mouse dragging. The minimum size is now a 1/256 note instead of the current grid value.
  
  
• Fix: The track event background color is now painted properly when only part of the event is record enabled with punch-in and punch-out.
  
  
• Fix: Using the Shift key to override snap did not work when dragging a file from the browser onto a track.
  
  
• Fix: Inserting tracks from the clipboard or from a track template file would wrongly assign a track tag to all effect tracks in the chain.

Very fast release! I like the new GUI changes, it give more consistency aspect.

As I see it there are two points while dragging an event, As and Bs, where As are relative snap points and Bs absolute snap points.



Once you start to drag the event and the mouse arrives to A1 the event is lenghten until the next gridline (B1). Once you arrive to B1 the event is shorten to its original value, because Podium takes closest the relative snap point, as you just explained.

My solution would be once you arrive to A1 paint until the next absolute snap point (B1), and once you arrive to B1 paint until the next relative point (A2). Always you arrive a relative point, paint until the next absolute snap point, and viceversa.

If I understood you right this should work... well... I think


Edit: also, you could do an abstract sum/subtraction to the previous/next relative/absolute snap position, if you find this is difficult to program

You're welcome, I'm very old'skool headed when thinking about problems

Ohh... you are asking for it this time!
Well, I can't say I'm overwhelmed by the beautiful lightshow you now get moving the mouse across an arrangement. I could probably enjoy it more if it had a short fade-in/out time, but that'd be too much to ask.

Now prepare for a nitpick bombardment (among other personal observations).

- I really like the look of the new track headers! Can't use them though, since I most often zoom out so much I wouldn't be able to see the event contents anymore... too bad for me.

- A problem I've occasionally had in the note editor seems to have found its way into the arrangement view now, too. Namely, short events are drawn in a weird way. It's also very hard to see when they're selected:


- Shadow reduction around notes looks good and everything's much snappier now, even with tons of notes - great work! (However, I think I liked the way shadows [when they first appeared] were drawn on all four sides a little better than mostly just below events.)

Now it's pixel-pushing time!

- With a color scheme using bright text on dark backgrounds, notes and event names expand beyond the event borders. Also, the event name box seems offset from the start, resulting in 1px of waveform not being dimmed:


- At first glance, I liked the softly colored edges of adjacent events better than the clear-cut almost black lines, although I guess it does make for a better visual separation and I'll quickly come around to prefer it. It looks weird though sometimes, as the backdrop of the event name, phantom copy and mute symbol seem to overlap the right edge (as mentioned above):


- There's a bump at the top on fades and crossfades. Don't see it? Let's zoom in.


- Events look like they're shrinking when you hover over them (this actually was the same before, but not as noticable):

God had to bless your eyes, and leave mine with myopia because he would be exausted after the effort, thcil
