Dorchester Playlist Changes, The Good, The Bad

The new "Floating Window" playlist is good because you can get more real estate.  The new "Floating Window" playlist is bad because there is no longer a "Pin to Top" button. It does stay on top but the focus doesn't stay with the playlist and the "N" key doesn't work unless you take your mouse and highlight it first. Also, and for my purposes has made it unusable is the scroll line is mostly invisible in this version when using the playlist. We use it in a live production setting where we have visible cues on the project and we need to see when they are coming up. Without the scroll line, we can't. This new version seems to load the next song slower than before and time is of the essence in our productions. I can say that the command center does a great job in reverting to earlier versions. I needed to in this case.

    That's an important observation - thanks for sharing.
     
    I'm on X3 for the live system and will stay as this seems to be the first update to the playlist and the issues you mentioned are just as critical to us ("N" key", pin button ... and ost of all - fast load times)
     
    Cheers.

    Don't forget to let Cakewalk know by submitting a bug report, or at least a feature request that includes what it would take to fix the issue.
