Default Please don't change (startInSourceValue when trimming items (SOLVED)

when left trimming items the offset is changed by reaper, and we never want that because we loose control of the first beat.
And i can't see any benefit of changing offset in any circunstance: Can anyone explain me?

It's s really annoying the problems this change gives for arranging this item.

To workaround, first we have to remove the added trim, copy it and redo trim, paste and then redo the trim in the new place! (or change manually like in the licaps)

here:


and here for audio item:

It snaps always to the offset.. You have not set any snap offset in your gif. Your snap offset is 0.

deeb !
I understand you, you got a big point.

A solution would be:
Option in Preferences (or in Menu Options), to NOT change offset position in an Item when trimming left edge of Item.

Warm Regards.

deeb !

I missed the fact that you trimmed a looped item to the left.
So i have to nuance my answer abit i think:

Option in Preferences (or in Menu Options), to NOT change offset position in an Item when trimming left edge of Item,whether it is looped or not looped.

Regarding your answer to amagalma:
You are using the right terminology and imho your first post is very clear (to me).
So i think amagalma just misunderstood your first post and therefore his answer is not to the point.

Just my 2 cents.
