    I was wondering if at some time in the future you would consider bringing all the preferences under one roof, so-to-speak.

    There are several different places to change preferences and since I don’t do it all the time I get lost. There are the color preferences, audio and midi, interface and windows, piano roll, menus and toolbars, etc. And now there is a new one that we get with the right click on the piano roll.

    How about a consolidated pref’s area something like this one from Adobe’s Acrobat…

    I think that just like the new help window that’s at the lower left-hand part of the screen, an easy to find and navigate pref’s window would be a nice touch 🙂

    Some of the setup dialogs can be consolidated into one preferences dialog, as you suggest.

    And now there is a new one that we get with the right click on the piano roll.

    That’s the “piano roll region properties” dialog, and it has always existed but had to be accessed through the editor profile setup. It was just expanded in 2.09, and a shortcut link was added to the menu.

    The editor setup dialogs cannot be included into the single global preferences dialog, because you can have several editors, and several piano roll regions. But it would be possible to consolidate all the individual region properties dialogs into one “editor properties” dialog.

    Please explain what you mean by several piano roll regions.

    In the default Podium.ini setup you have two piano roll editors. One for the embedded, and one for the separate window. So in that case you have two sets of piano roll configurations. You can add any number of customized piano roll editors that you can switch between with the editor view menu. You can even add more than one piano roll region within a single editor, if you can find a use for that. So a single piano roll properties page in a preferences dialog will not do. You need to select which editor profile you want to edit, and which region within the editor profile you want to edit.
