Now that's funny. I put the mute/unmute on there because these are actually needed pretty often, owing to the lack of a true multi-track solo mode. The add/delete/move track buttons are also extremely useful. When I have to do these actions, I do them repeatedly. When I'm done with a composition, I delete the unused tracks, and then if I want to go back in and add another track or two, I add new ones back in. It's much more efficient to click click click and have one action per click than the old way I used to have to do this. Adding these buttons was one of the most significant "big improvement for very little effort" things I've ever done around here. > Take a look at the RMB menu in the studio. Twenty options?! Twice counted! RMB menu in the studio? I don't understand what you're talking about. Or... Are you talking about the context menu that pops up when you right click on the segment canvas? (The "studio" is probably Studio -> Manage Midi Devices more than anything else.) It sounds like you are. > First of all, I think we have serious organization problems here.

I can see a case for getting rid of "default editor" unless that causes other problems, such as if the enter key is set to trigger the "default editor" action on that menu. We might could still hide it even if that is the case. > Undo and redo are needless at this point. I agree on that score. I've never used undo from here. If I undo from a menu, in order perhaps to see what RG thinks the action I'm undoing is supposed to be, then I always use Edit -> Undo (or Redo). > Cut, Copy, delete and join (where's paste?) have their purpose if > segment(s) are selected, but if not they are just taking place. At least, > I have no need to see them by clicking on canvas with no segment(s) > selected. I can see a case for adding paste too, and I think I complained about this too. Come to think of it, I did, but at the time I complained it was the first time I had ever used these options, and I've never used them since. I wouldn't mind getting rid of them entirely. > Then I'm probably looking for more general tools options (pencil, delete, > split, etc.). And these are "third group" in order of appearance?!

I've never, ever used the tool options on this context menu. The thing I use it for most often is open in $EDITOR. In fact, that's all I really ever do with it. I use the context menu rather than clicking on one of the "open in $EDITOR" buttons on the toolbar. But someone else might be just the opposite. -- Michael McIntyre ---- Silvan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Linux fanatic, and certified Geek; registered Linux user #243621 http://www.geocities.com/Paris/Rue/5407/ http://rosegarden.sourceforge.net/tutorial/ ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference & EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile & Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects & Teams * Testing & QA Security * Process Improvement & Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf _______________________________________________ Rosegarden-devel mailing list Rosegarden-devel@lists.sourceforge.net - use the link below to unsubscribe https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/rosegarden-devel
