X2 - Is it possible to keep an options window open until ALL changes have been made?

 
Take this situation in the Track View Options for example:
 
 

 
 
I want to change three settings for my Playback Meters:

1. Change the meters' range from -24dB to -60dB
2. Turn on 'Hold Peaks'
3. Turn off 'Lock Peaks'

 
The only PITA way I can see to do this is to open the dialogue from scratch three separate times, because once I click to change any one of the settings the options screen disappears.
 
This is not what I call speeding up my workflow at all
 
If this rather laborious process is the only way to do it, would it not be a good idea to:

1. Allow us to use the Ctrl key to change more than one option before the window closes
   or
2. Have an 'OK' button added to each options screen so we could make the changes and then click it to close the window

 
Again, apologies if I've missed something obvious
 
Thanks in advance

If it turns out it's not possible, I'll put in a Feature Request for it.

I would have thought it would be pretty easy to implement.

Well, since Cakewalk has an ear to their customers (cakewalk rep post on facebook), I'm sure a feature request will simply do the trick.


BTW, I agree with Straummy, this a PITA.


A workaround would/could be to modify/create a "normal template" with your preferred settings.

That's exactly what I've been doing all afternoon mate - setting up my shiny new X2 templates

DOH!!!

I'm with you, Strummy.  Even though I'm a few versions behind. 

This would be a great feature, even Amigas back in the day could hold menus open while making multiple selections (Shift key IIRC). Is it a Windoze limitation?

well if windoze doesn't allow the menu to be kept "open" then it would have to be a dialog box

Ah I see.

Maybe they could just put the various option in Edit>Preferences then?

Unless there is a workaround, then the F/R beckons.

I find this a major pain as well Steve.

 
Pfft....... we don't need no steenkin' Feature Request Col.
 
 
They don't seem to take much notice of them anyway.
 
 
Oh no. We need to form an angry mob and march up to the gates of the old castle etc.

Last time I got my burning torch to mob up round at Cakewalk it went out when I got into the Atlantic, which was really cold as well. So I gave up headed to the nearest pub and had a few jars while chatting some birds up.
 
I'll leave the mob rule to you lot, I'm off to the pub.

Do mobs march? It seems an oxymoron to me.

 
Angry ones with burning torches (and the odd pitchfork) do John
