a. When using the command ‘Hide Tracks in Group’ on a bounce track the plugin mapping and the fader of a child track is shown on the bounce track header.

I’ll look at that tomorrow.

c. Moving the first effect track in a track header with the submenu command ‘Move Track’ above the next effect track does not work, moving below works.

Fixed in the new beta 13.

One question: Is it possible to deactivate the automatic track header sizing when opening/closing the mixer? Would be great because all the optimized track header sizes are ‘lost’ after opening the mixer view.

Not currently. I’m planning to change how the track resizing works. With the new compact headers there are more information shown on the headers, and it may then be undesirable that the tracks resizes when the entire tracks region is resized.

The new beta 13 has further changes to the track menus, including submenus for presets and parameters.

So if there were no fixes at all you would wait even longer to release 1.95?

Sounds like we are now moving to a longer development cycle for Podium releases (and of course fixes) in future if that is the case, which is fine if that approach works best for you. Is that a correct assumption?

I have already replied to this question some time ago in the topic you posted in the VIP lounge:

The design of the new track layout mode is a major feature. When it is done I’m going back to more regular updates.

On another note, do you have any sort of time frame for a release of 1.95?

It has been more than 8 weeks and AFAICT there are some bug fixes that are in 1.95.

There are no important bug fixes coming in 1.95. Otherwise I wouldn’t wait this long with the release of 1.95.

The available 1.94 demo time expired yesterday, so I am trying to wrap up what I have made so far. Hopefully 1.95 is ready within a week. This means the compact mode unfortunately will not be as completed as I had hoped. I still have to do some work on the track menus.

More experiments. This one I would really like your opinion about. Previously the entire track lane headers have been colorized with the track color. With the recent addition of the chain panel to the headers, I think it is becoming too overwhelming with the colors. Depending on the colors selected for the track, it can be difficult to distinguish lit BSMRX buttons and text. I’ve tried a layout where only the right edge of the track lane is colored, and the main header area is using the normal face color. This also makes it easier to distinguish the currently selected track:

Furthermore you may notice that I have added a spacing between track groups, making a clearer division between groups and parameter tracks.

Anyone still prefer the old colorized track headers? Otherwise they are going out.

Would you still consider making the sliders, at least the panning, adjustable by moving the mouse on the y-axis? (With the dials, both ways were fine.)

I think this will be counterintuitive with horizontal sliders. You can hold shift and drag to make fine adjustments to pan. You can also drag out the width of the track headers to increase the size of the sliders. Is the problem only the lack of precision when dragging the pan slider?

Will all corresponding dials in the GP, and especially the ones on parent tracks in the chain panel be eventually replaced with sliders? I figure they’d have to be pretty tiny again to fit.

So far I have no plans to replace the dials in the group panel and elsewhere in the track inspector.

Beta9 is uploaded. The pan dial in the track header is replaced with a pan slider similar to the gain fader. Also changed the fader style. There are also small changes to the BSMR buttons. The minimized track header is now 1 pixel taller which results in a more precise display of the waveform in sound events.
