Track colors should be stored/recalled with Track Templates
Shouldn't they?
Thanks-

Track templates should save all settings pertaining to the track:
routings
folder
plugs
colors
meters
heights
lanes: open/ closed / height / fit to content,....
AND DATA!!!! MIDI and audio, with all automation

Some are optimists, I know I were.
I throw in a vote and extension to include options for screensets, if to save colors right now with it.
I've seen request from people wanting to change color scheme easily - since some colors are based on other colors, just making them darker etc.
So different edit situation may require different color scheme.

My color schemes are all over the map right now because templates don't do colors... I would LOVE this....
BTW, the Bakers have a whole year to play with our ideas, folks... they can't do everything at once or dweeeble duckmiester would be spamming them that "we didn't get nuttin' in July!"
I doooo love this forum and many of the ideas... for baking tomorrow's cake!

Yes, as they now included drum maps to track templates - how big extra effort would it be to throw in color options too?
Almost no extra effort is my view.
So all track template improvements in one release is much less work, including the testing and all.

We have to be careful in assumptions about effort. There is no telling how the entire thing was implemented those many years ago  It would be kinda of cool to see some 'end-to-end' updates in certain areas. There are so many people screaming for stuff in so many areas ... I don't envy Ye Olde Pastry Shoppe bakers this year or next. Beyond that it should be a cakewalk! - LOL

One of the problems:
If a user has set track color to follow bus color and the bus referred to in the track template already exists, what should happen for the track color, and for the bus color?
If the bus is created by the track template, Bob's yer uncle.
This becomes way complicated when the track template contains a track folder with tracks of many colors. And so on.

I don't think it's that complicated actually ... if you already have a bus called "vox fx" and your template should add 3 tracks plus a bus called "vox fx" then it just adds the tracks because the bus is already there (with whatever configuration you gave it - including colors) ... I believe that is what is happening at the moment and it appears logical ...

If the track template is created with a different color than the existing bus, what should happen for the track? Change to the bus color, or stay as the user defined?
If/when track templates do store color info, this should be a user defined behavior.

Yes, I gave this five stars, Susan. Colour makes everything so much easier to identify without strain. Not needing to set it up over and over would really save aggravation.
Thank you for making this suggestion.

If/when track templates do store color info, this should be a user defined behavior.
If the track color is set to "follow bus", then it should follow the bus color. period. if the bus comes from (A) a template, it should bring its color along, if (B) the bus is already there nothing should change. meaning ... in case (A) the bus did not exist prior to loading the template, so you can't have any tracks routed to the new bus apart from those in the template => your template will load as you saved it, tracks and bus should have colors from the template in case (B) the bus is already there (containing different FX, ProChannel, and bus color settings), so loading the template should not change anything in the existing bus (if I would want that to happen I could simply delete the bus prior to loading the template), hence all existing and newly added tracks with "follow bus" settings take over the colors from the existing bus ... I don't see a need for user defined behaviour (that would make life less complicated)

Yea, but maybe I want the new track to not follow the existing bus color, to be the default color, but the template is the one I want to use.
And/or the track was not set to follow the bus color, but now I want it to.
And so on.
User settings for every behavior is preferred.

Thanks Laura, et. al.!
The original request was for user-assigned track colors to be saved/restored with track templates, and that's gotten quite a few votes. Expansions on and options for that request are welcome (and keep 'em coming!) but I think it's more likely that the original request will be implemented if it's kept simple at this point.

^ Agreed,
A stored track template with colors should simply be recalled with the colors stored.
I also see zero need to complicate this at all, and while there are a bunch of "what if" type issues related to following bus colors, it is a fair assumption that the amount of track color changes to execute post this mod must be less than those without this mod.

An easy way (in my mind) to account for all of these possibilities would be to make the selected save with the template, AND have a checkbox to "lock" the color. Unchecked would allow the selection to follow the current options.

"I'd buy that for a dollar!" to quote The Running Man movie. Big yes to colors. Bumping this as I just learned to save folders-the workaround way of selecting tracks and the folders followed. To my dismay the colors did not follow my new track template.

Funny how such a small thing can interrupt the creative juices... I absolutely love Sonar's powerful templates and at first couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong when colors weren't being saved... Consistency is lost, time is wasted, and oh... just please fix this... I'm beginning to use The Craig's vibrant colors idea and it's a perfect time to make the templates "perfect"
get it done, pleeeeeze!
