I too haven't had much chance to test the change, but this sure doesn't seem like a good thing to me. When I sync things to a audio track, I want to set the insertion point by clicking on or very near the sound waveform. If I have to click on the time bar at the top in order to get a click instead of a drag, that's going to sharply increase the amount of cursing I do while using Cinelerra. And isn't the time bar already pretty much occupied by labels? If it's going to be hard to avoid clicking on a nearby label instead of the point I want, that will also suck. If you just removed drag'n'drop mode entirely, that would be better than this. I almost never use drag'n'drop mode and wouldn't miss it. However, I wouldn't advocate doing that, because I'm aware that some people do like to use drag'n'drop mode. What if instead, the drag'n'drop/normal setting were made less accessible, so that it would be less likely for people to change it without knowing what they're doing? -- Matthew Skala [EMAIL PROTECTED] Embrace and defend. http://ansuz.sooke.bc.ca/ _______________________________________________ Cinelerra mailing list [email protected] https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra
