Hey Bevosss,

Yeah, I know about the new track issue. To clarify what's going on, the snapshot saves the state of all the tracks that exist when you create the snapshot. If you recall a snapshot later and there's new tracks, it ignores them. So it's not "adding" the new tracks, it just doesn't change the state. I have an action, "Add selected track(s) to all snapshots" that was designed to help. So, select your new tracks, hide them, run "Add selected track(s) to all snapshots", recall the snapshot you want the tracks to appear in, show the tracks, then right click on that snapshot and pick "Add selected track(s) to snapshot" or run the action "Add selected track(s) to current snapshot." Whew, not much fun right?

Something should be done to make this better.
Here's a couple ideas:
1) If a track didn't exist when a snapshot was created, hide it on recall. That would be fine for many situations, but not the "show all" type. You'd still have to manually add the new track to the snapshot(s) you want it to appear in.
2) Ask the user - put up a box for "Snapshot recall: There are new tracks since you last recalled this snapshot. Would you like to Hide/Show/Ignore them?"
