I think they could completely overhaul ALL of their list views and give us a lot of tools for handling those.

We do have the SEARCH feature, which apparently nobody else uses, but they could add a search field for every list view. Type in some words, and all names in the list with those words then come to the top. Add a sort feature for every list, including tracks. Make it easy to move tracks, chunks, list items. (it's already a LOT easier than it was 10 years ago, btw, at least in the Tracks Overview Window)

DP gets better all the time. I just want it to be beyond reproach!

I do use it. I hit cmd-f (as in every other program in the known universe) and dismiss the dialogue box and all my data becomes invisible. Makes looking for stuff so much easier... :rofl:

Not all the time, but when I need it I'm really glad it's there. Way more powerful than just searching - but you guys know that.
