Thanks devs, Whilst your doing floating toolbar stuff could we have a action to "lock floating toolbar in place" or something similar as it's so easy to drag the whole window slightly when you miss the button.
My main reason is because I have a small touch screen dedicated to just the toolbar and it's to easy when working fast to accidentally miss a button and move the toolbar window instead.
Sounds petty I know but I'm sure in the future with more and more touchscreens other people will get the same problem
thanks

Thanks for fixing the FT refresh!
Another GUI question for the devs. I can't remember now (and I'd rather not downgrade), but was this line always here?

It makes the whole track strip look ugly in this case. Perhaps it should be removed? I see its usefulness in the extended mixer, but here in TCP it just doesn't look so well.

Maybe other stuff is coming, so that divider has to be there.
Hmm.

Still, the track strip would look a lot cleaner if it weren't there in this particular case? It should appear only when "other stuff comes" and is added below?

my emu can only be set in milliseconds so i cant get 256 as a buffer setting,
this new option seems to work, Reaper is reporting that the buffer is,
[256spls~7.4/6.2ms ASIO]
Subz
EDIT: nice now i can go down to 96 samples before the lowest multiple of 16 i could get was 224 (88 is the lowest my card can go, i did try to request 64 but it returned 88 <2.4ms>)

I can't record under these stressful conditions! Look at that line. It's a catastrophe!
Years later: "Yeah, I think the reason I got out of the music business was this one pivotal event where a prerelease introduced this ugly line. That when I finally snapped...killed everyone in sight. Didn't know what I was doing. It just happened. Fucking line."

We all have different needs I think but sometimes I wonder why some people are so obsessed with this 'minor' stuff. Minor for me, major issue for you, I guess. Carry on.

Not sure which drivers support it (MOTU drivers do not appear to, for example). If you set it to request "256" for example, it will try to get the driver to use 256 sample block size, etc (rather than having to use the driver's config panel).

Better to catch minor details ASAP then to let them build up until there are tons of little minor annoyances all over the GUI... Agreed that nitpicks like this don't effect the functionality of the software whatsoever, but they are easy fixes that keep the program looking like a professional piece of software and they are even easier to fix when it's just one minor bug at a time

Yeah. I don't care too much about those but I have to admit it feels (looks) good when they're fixed

I didn't see a bug thread for the 3.691, so I'll post here
I noticed a very weird bug that is unfortunately impossible to reproduce.
Some elements get deleted when undoing while they should not! I was editing one track when I pressed undo. At the same time, a whole track lost ALL the items that were on it.
I opened the undo tab and went backwards in the undo list. I checked 5 earlier positions and the items came back. To test what had happened, I started clicking redo and... 2 tracks lost all their items!
This is very, very strange and makes me pretty worried, as you can imagine.
Did anyone notice anything strange like that?
I have a pretty big session that is open: one hour long, 90 audio tracks (not full all the time), about 10 gigs of audio I think and 16'000 audio items. I am using reaper 3.69 (16 bit version) on XP64.
Please let me know if I'd better post that bug report somewhere else

I agree, and since this is my first post, who am I to argue?
I believe in keeping things simple, straight forward and uncomplicated.
So delving into the absolute minutiae of developmental perfection is right up there with sitting in a midnight field waiting for a crop circle to appear.
To constantly improve Reaper with such care and enthusiasm, and still have a life outside of Digitopia, is in itself a mega challenge. I think its only fair that the devs concentrate on the really important improvements.
I take my hat off to them and thank them for their hard work. Having worked in a similar situation over the years, I can really appreciate all of the long hours, determined sweaty sessions and sometimes crushing frustration. I'm convinced its paying off big time.
Having used Audition, Cubase and a few others, I think Reaper is in front of
the pack --- plus they have a better attitude.

You use a WORD like MINUTIAE and think you are out of digitopia?.....
no, my man(woman?) you are either the twisted ex employee of avid or
the one that notices how the sky is just blue enough... for a first post you got it ........ Reaper IS THE S*^%.... but we have a request or 2..

If you have a problem with the released version of REAPER, the right place to report it is in the bug report forum, here: http://forum.cockos.com/forumdisplay.php?f=22
What you are describing sounds like a known bug that was fixed in 3.68, so if there is any way to reproduce that problem in 3.69, we would be very interested to hear it.

I didn't test the current RC (that has just been officially release I can see). I usually only do it to see if I can reproduce bugs so that I can report them here.
But I am working with a version that is older 3.68 (3.69, compiled sept 20 2010), so the undo bug is still there. I cannot find a way to reproduce it but this happened to me at least three times. At first, I thought I was doing something wrong though I couldn't understand why. It seems it occurs pretty randomly, when working on big projects.
I can describe you what I was doing when the bugs happened and how they did in details, if that is of any use for you.

Schwa, the bug is still there in 3.71.
I experienced that there are also midi items that disappear, not only audio.
I will try to see how this can be reproduced, even though I have big doubts: it looks like it happens totally randomly and not very often (I lost items about 4 times today, and I worked for 12 hours so far using Reaper). If I find anything, I will post it in an appropriate section.
This bug truly gives me nightmares
