There is as you know auto zoom in X2. Did you also know that there is a global zoom for tracks? The way it works is adjust the height of an unselected track and all the tracks will follow. This is sweet.

For auto zoom you engage it by clicking on the view menu and checking the selection for it. Then all you do is select a track then adjust it height.  Now when you select any track it will pop up to that size.

hmmm i dont see that.. is there some preference to enable?  thx

It only works with auto zoom enabled, methinks.

Yes that is part of autozoom. Individual non focus tracks aren't resizeable as such but the non-focused track height is, as is the in focus track height. Very handy especially as it is a per screenset setting.

On the subject of tips......

Track view undo/redo. Hold right mouse button down and click left to undo. To redo hold left down and click right.

Bookmarked this thread.

Keep the tips coming!!

Yes, I knew that. FYI

here is a hot tip dating backing many versions- X ray vision: shift-x on a vst turns it into a translucent vst that can be recalled again by shift-x, a great tool for those with one screen.

COOL! Never knew that. This works great... at least until you dock it in multidock. Understandable it doesn't work there. However, if you un-dock and free float it, the shift-X doesn't work any more. You have to close it out and reopen it for it to work again. Hmmm!

Actually, how do we maximise a track now? In X1 you just double click the header of the track, but that doesn't seem to work any more. Am I clicking the wrong spot? Shortcut?

It works the same but not while autozoom is active - Shift + Z switches that on/off.

This is one of my personal favorites. I often zoom in with the time ruler and roll the mouse buttons to get back to the original state.

Auto-zoom is great. The global zoom is ok but my peeve is that it operates on the Folder strips at the same time as the tracks. I would prefer to have the tracks expand/contract as they do but leaving the Folder strips as is and independent - how often do you consult the information in an expanded Folder strip?

I fully agree with you. But I guess it could be useful to think of auto zoom as a dynamic process. One that you don't set and leave alone.

Just a thought.
