Is there any documentation on how to do these things? The user manual hasn't been updated and that doesn't give me any confidence if 'help' is any better.bayswater wrote:FM, my point was that it is only one more key and click to get all the tracks you are searching for. Instead of typing a string, you have to Option CMD click a track, then enter the string. And one more key press to exclude the empty folders and tracks. Having the entire thing happen with one operation -- the string entry -- would reduce the flexibility for some, e.g. those who bury tracks they don't want to use in a project in specific folders, or those who do want to see the empty tracks.
With different combinations of folder states, search strings, and filters, there's a lot of flexibility in the results.
The new Track Search and Filter are NOT that good...

I haven't looked for any documentation on this item. I just tried it out. It's pretty simple stuff.
The manual embedded in the app package hasn't been updated. I hope updates to the manual, now that it is a PDF, become a routine part of the application updates. Maybe a 9.1 update with all the great new stuff will see a new manual.

I should hope so. Kind of disappointing that there isn't at least an addendum to the manual like some other developers do instead of redoing the complete almost 1000 page document. I mean MOTU didn't even bother to fix the mistake of how to not work in the consolidated window. They still mention that it's a single option to set when even back in 8.07 that wasn't the case at least for the latest builds of that version of DP. They really need to hire a decent tech writer and have the will to do the deed.bayswater wrote:I haven't looked for any documentation on this item. I just tried it out. It's pretty simple stuff.
