Rearrange Columns in Markers Window

Post by Movies »

Does anyone know if this is possible to re-order the columns in the Markers window? I found a thread or two here from 2007 when it was definitively not possible, but does anyone know if this has changed or how one would go about doing it in 2016?

Thanks!

If you could it would be a matter of dragging the list names in the title bar, as you can in TO.

That was my first thought, but the the Markers window doesn't necessarily go by the same rules as TO -- like, for instance, needing to option-click to change a track name, but being able to double-click to change a marker name.

I'm not in the marker window much, so I'm not as familiar, but maybe try command or control dragging? Maybe even option drag if double click changes the name.

Then again, it might be like the Consolidated Window, where the list (for windows, at any rate) is set and immutable. I'd love to have those customizable. I never use the drum window (as an example) and if I could replace it with, with the notation window, my workflow would be slightly easier.

Just checked. They are not movable.

Thanks for double-checking on the columns sitch.

Yeah, those are all really good points. I never use the drum window either -- it'd be awesome to replace it with something more appropriate to one's workflow.
