Why parent track number and name were removed?

Works great for € but the @-symbol still returns two values with german keyboard. AltGr+Q is the keyboard-combination...

Edit:
AltGr+2 for ²
AltGr+3 for ³
AltGr++ for ~
AltGr+| for |
AltGr+M for µ
AltGr+\ for \
AltGr+7 for {
AltGr+8 for [
AltGr+9 for ]
AltGr+0 for }

have the same issues. But it looks like you found the right path for fixing these.

To make it clear:

There was a post about it recently, but can't find it now. Anyway, your 6.72 picture shows the problem it had, text not showing fully, so it's just confusing. Here in 6.72 I saw only Parent send (track Parent channels:. In 6.73 I see Parent send channels from/to: just like in your example pic, which at least to me is clearer.

But I think, that seeing the Parent track number (at least) or better also its name is quite important if the folder depth is deeper and not just simple use case where the one child track is sending to one folder tracks which is directly above so it is easy to keep track - that is not case in large project with lot of track in deep folder sructure.

Of course, but the earlier partial text made no sense, so had no real value in there. That whole part would need a redesign if people really want to always see who is the parent.

^^^^ It seems that the "track number" was presented clearly and visibly though, wasn't it?

[xpander]

In Vitalkers image track 1 something apparently. Like I said, in my PC the whole line read Parent send (track Parent channels:

When I last checked there also were issues with standard keyboard GUI shortcuts for actions when using the German keyboard layout.

Yeah, but why it was removed? It could be solved another way. For example, like this:

No, for some versions it was truncated: https://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=272647

It started when this window have been redesigned to have two boxes instead of one.

Actually I think parent track number and name could be shown in the title like:
Routing for track 2 "Track 2 name", Parent track 1 "Parent track naame"

[brtkstn]

I fully agree with you guys - we need to know which track is a parent one (with name and number). I think that Vitalker has a good idea of redesign that routing window.

You mean some of the keys in the num-block?

No, standard assignments of keys with prints of > < , ; , : - _ # ' + + ~ apostrophs, ...
(did not check them individually right now)
BTW.: I do not use a translation in Reaper but the standard English GUI

If you manually re-bind them do they work?

I just tried [~] (Tilda), which by default is Menu->View->Zoom->Toggle track zoom to maximum Height.

The menu of course does work as expected. #
Tilda is the key-combination [AltGr] (= right of [spacebar]) and [*+~] ( = upper left of [Return]) on the German keyboard.

When I do [~] in Reaper, I get a error chime.


Now trying to reassign the action:

Toggle track to maximum Height is Command ID 40113
A visible Tilda character appears in the shortcut Window when I) select it.
I can delete it
I can assign [ctrl][shift][B]
This works.

I assign [AltGr][~}
It shows "Ctrl+Alt++"
It works !


Obviously the default keymap does not correcly respect oddities of the German keymap.


Hey I can easily fix such issues myself



Trying "Toggle track zoom to minimum Height"
Originally a "back quote" which on the German keyboard is not available as a single "Character" but is done as [shift][`'] followed by a [space].

More funny behavior:

[shift][`'] results in a error chime.
ignoring that and hitting space in fact does the correct action.



[!] does work as expected


[@] (Minimize all tracks) results in an error chime
[@] is [AltGr][Q@]
can be fixed in the same way as Tilda to be "Ctrl+Alt+Q"


square brackets can also be fixed by redefining to Ctrl+Alt+8 and Ctrl+Alt+9
curly brackets by redefining to Ctrl+Alt+7 and Ctrl+Alt+0


Did not detect more right now...
