Hi Gang...
 
I'm still feeling optomistic about the new release... I'm just gettting started with it but of course, I had to check this first as it's such a nasty problem for me...
 
I dont remember all the various input that related to this issue, but I do remember that the problem has to do with either hidden tracks or folders or hidden folders...
 
Using the zoom tool of holding the Z key while using lasso with the mouse to define the area to zoom is still not working where there are folders/hidden/or such...
 
Now back to playing with 2015!

Is this in PRV or TV?
 
In PRV I can lasso and it will zoom. I have to hold Z to do it.
 
 

Hi Grem...

I haven't tried it in PRV recently... But in TV it is not working on songs that have hidden folders (I believe that was the established final discovery in X3e)

I've only tried it in such a situation so far in 2015, but it is not working there... I lasso an area of waveform and instead of getting the selection maximized, it increases the size a little and jumps to a useless view...

I made sure snap was disabled as I already know that when enabled, it "interferes" with the zoom...

Hi Keni
 
Can you create a quick "lasso zoom failure for dummies" post with clear steps to reproduce?  I'll see if my Plat does it...

Hi Karyn...

Sure... It's simple...

Start a project with a bunch of tracks
Add some tracks to a new folder
Archive and hide the folder
Snap is disabled
Hold the Z while using the mouse to lasso a small segment of a single clip/track

Expected result:
Lassoed area should zoom to occupy the full screen by itself

Actual result:
Not the area selected occupying the appropriate full screen area...

Thanks for checking this... A number of others corroborated this back in x3e and it hasn't changet in 2015...

Thanks Jlien...

I hadn't known about the work around... I can get used to that difference, but I wonder if/how it affects the other uses of Z?

Keni

Yeah, until I came up with that workaround, that cut my editing speed in half. Hopefully that gets fixed because while the Select then press Z thing does work, it feels really backwards after doing the other way for so long.

Excellent, thanks for the great workaround ! (But I agree, I liked it better the way it worked before, so hopefully it gets addressed in future versions)

I've just tried the workaround and it does work when selecting tracks, but it still fails to work properly 1) when selecting Take lanes, or 2) when Auto Track Zoom is enabled...
