Bounce to Disk (Super Wide) Finder Window Bug ?

[JSmith1234567]

I'm having this problem in DP's "Save As" dialog constantly in DP 9.52 and OSX Mojave.

I have tried various things, but none of them work.

The shift or alt.-clicking window-corners does not work, or even dragging the window corners that normally works.

DP 9.52 is the only application that has this problem on my Mac.

Whoops I meant "export soundbites", not "save as".

As in the export soundbites dialog from the soundbites mini-menu.

If you read the rest of the thread, you'd know that upgrading to DP 10 fixes this. I don't recall which build nailed it but this does not happen in 10.11, the current build.

You can download the demo and check it out.

Almost fixes it. If I select a single soundbite to export it is fine, but if I select multiple sound bites for export I get the super wide dialog box.

Yes me too. Exactly.

Also, I moved back to 9.52 from 10.x, and don't plan on upgrading till I can try out the next build due to performance issues.

But yes...in both versions?

I don’t in Mojave 10.14.6 or Catalina 10.15.5. I do 4–8 projects a week including two today. Lots of us on DP 10.11 without this issue. What does MOTU say?

I have some weird BTD issues but this isn’t one of them.

I'm experiencing this issue with the Import Audio window.

On Mojave and DP 9.52.

Are you cats using the DP new zooming feature? I wonder if toggling that up and back down to 100% has any impact on the window size? If you try it, I'd be sure the window in question is closed.

BTW, demonsp, given your avatar, maybe they can start calling YOU MLC... lol

I'm on Catalina 10.15.5 and DP 10.11. My user interface is at 100% (no scaling). I tried taking it up to 120% and then back down, but no difference.

It occurs for me when choosing more than one soundbite in the Soundbites window and then choosing Export Selected Soundbites.

It ALSO occurs when setting the BTD destination folder.

It does not occur when selecting a single soundbite for export from the Soundbites window or choosing any of the options under the File -> Export menu.

Lastly, I'm not sure it's really a Finder Window (as the title of this thread implies). It's the dialog box that pops up inside DP.

I haven't reported it to MOTU but maybe this will get me to do it.

I have submitted a new Tech Link with my info to MOTU.

Hey Kurt. I tried downloading an app called Default Folder X that was supposed to help, but it didn't do anything.

I also tried another couple apps like (Moom?) and another, but could not make them to work.

I'm not great with computers, though, so if it's not apparently easy I just give up.

There is also a set of terminal commands to set a default size. I tried it and it didn't do anything, but I happened on another article after that which said you have to do some thing with going into the package contents of an application to find the write file-name to paste into the terminal command (apparently it's not just Digital Perfomer).

I don't really have time to mess with it again for awhile, unfortunately.

Oh, and trashing DP preferences didn't help (I read many places that his might be the answer).

[JSmith1234567]

I do have to say I find a comment I am increasingly seeing; "There are already many threads addressing this" to be completely unhelpful and downright rude..

While it's annoying if someone doesn't do a little homework before posting a question, I think revisiting these topics over and over is actually very helpful.

New ideas present themselves, people who don't frequent a forum may just tune-in once in a while and happened to see it, new members join the forum, people have found new solutions since the last post and "threads", etc., etc., etc.

There are people who have been using DP forever, and their are people who could be our own kids just getting in to making/producing music for the very first time.

They just want to solve the problem quickly (even if it is the most basic thing in the manual) and move forward making music, and are not as interested in the gear end of things, and that is perfectly valid. Some people are interested in that end of things, some people definitely not.

Tools, apps, and knowledge change from moment to moment, and getting a fresh take is sometimes the best thing we all could do.

My 2-cents.

Update:
While trying suss out the details of this yesterday one of the things I tried was re-sizing the dialog box. I could re-size it, but it wouldn't "stick". The next time I tried exporting multiple soundbites or setting the BTD destination I would get the super wide dialog box again.

Today, while creating a screen recording to include with my MOTU Tech Link, I went through the re-sizing routine and to my surprise it DID "stick". I'm not sure what changed to make it behave differently. For now I'm considering my issue resolved.

Hopefully this info can be helpful for others.

Just like the toothache disappearing as you arrive at the dentist’s office. Lol Other analogies come to mind but this is a family friendly site.

The issue has affected me with DP 9.52 and Mojave (as well High Sierra). It went away after I did a clean instal of EVERYTHING. But today I selected some soundbites to export and it kind of escalated. At first the window was a little too big. I could not resize it, but somehow dragging it around so I could access the buttons on the sides made it even bigger.

I do have two monitors up. If I use the top edge to drag the window, it is about 15 screens wide. When I hover over the edges, the cursor becomes an edge edit shape, but only shows an arrow to make it bigger, but not smaller.

Seems like an annoying small reason to upgrade to DP 10, since I can just pull audio from the audio folder and convert it in some other way.

Has anyone confirmed this is fixed in any recent DP 10 release?

This still drives me absolutely nuts.

It gets worse and worse the longer you work on a project. The windows get bigger and bigger.

I use 9.52 because (unfortunately) even though I purchased 10, 9.52 is still lean and mean and faster and more efficient IMHO.

I tried SO many things...OSX extensions that are supposed to add window resizing functionality, etc., but I still have the problem.

If anyone has solved this, I'd love to know.

FYI: it's DP 9.52 with Mojave for me.
