Click and Drag in MIDI Editor - RESOLVED
Posted: Sat Mar 09, 2024 3:37 am
Hi,
I’ve been stuck with DP 7.24 for more than a decade and few day ago I upgraded my rig and switched to DP11.
New features are awesome but lots of things are new to me and I’m still trying to adapt.
One thing that I find weird is the lasso selection on MIDI Editor.
I’ll try to explain myself: in TO and SE if you want to select all the items you touch while you’re “click and dragging” the pointer you must invoke the Lasso Tool holding “Control-Option”. If you don’t hold “Control-Option” you must mouse over the header of the items for them to be selected, otherwise they won’t be selected.
In DP 7.24 the MIDI Editor used to behave exactly like this whereas in DP 11 it does not. Now it’s like you’re holding “control-option”, and you select all the notes you mouse over without the need to mouse over the header of the note (see the attached little clip) . So much that if you hold “Control-Option” in ME the pointer does not change form (whereas it does in TO and SE).
Well I’m so used to the old behaviour that I’m asking if there some kind of preference that I’m missing (and I tried hard to find it) to make it behave the old way. And if there’s not, well that’s another thing I’ll adapt to ))
Thanks
