Display waveforms in folders

That would make it a little easier to understand the song structure, even if most of the folders are closed (which they usually are in my case - as that's what folders are for).

    Since folders can contain multiple audio and/or MIDI tracks, each with different content, which of the track waveforms should be shown?

    Sonar Platinum 64bit, Windows 8.1 Pro 64bit, I7 3770K Ivybridge, 16GB Ram, Gigabyte Z77-D3H m/board,
    ATI 7750 graphics+ 1GB RAM, 2xIntel 520 series 220GB SSDs, 1 TB Samsung F3 + 1 TB WD HDDs, Seasonic fanless 460W psu, RME Fireface UFX, Focusrite Octopre.
    Assorted real synths, guitars, mandolins, diatonic accordions, percussion, fx and other stuff.

    The same that other DAWs (Cubase, REAPER, ...) display. :)
     
    It's probably a cummulated one, i.e. the sum of all the child tracks. That would make most sense.

    Not really, as not all tracks in a folder would necessarily be going to the same bus, so a combined waveform would/could be confusing.

    I don't think it would be confusing as that's exactly what I'd expect to see. I see tracks that are grouped in a folder - I do not see the busses they may or may not be routed to, so I don't care about that. All I want to see is how much audio is within a folder in a specific section.
     
    It's just a structural information.

    Maybe the solid line representing data at the moment could be exchanged for a waveform or midi note display. But it would be very small so that's the reason they decided to display only solid lines i guess...

    Before they implement this, the CW programmers maybe should take a fresh look the way waveform displays are currently dealt with. The picture cache is not automatically cleared and often results in no display.
