DP9 Region items don't remember settings

Post by bkshepard »

In the past (DP8 and earlier), when I used one of the Region tools (Quantize, Transpose, Change Duration, etc.) whenever the window opened it still had the settings from the last time I used it. Now (DP9.0) when I open one of these items, it frequently has the settings from 2 or 3 times before the last time I used it, or even just the default settings. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Yes, but I haven't had time to quantize or qualify it.

My suspicion is that it might have more context than before, rather than being "global".

This might lead to the perception that it is going back beyond the previous setting.

I was wondering about that as well, but haven't noticed a pattern yet.

Seems to vary. Quantize and Transpose keep their previous settings. Duration goes back to default.

Actually, I find Quantize to be one of the ones that changes the most. It frequently goes back to the settings I had 2 or 3 uses earlier.

There is a preference that tells DP what to do when you click "Apply". Maybe the way that is set has something to do with whether the region settings are kept, or revert to some default.

Hmmm. I should try that and try to keep track of exactly what happens. In the middle of a project, though, it's tough to remember to do that each time.
