I posted this idea as well a while back but I can't find it. It looks like they don't keep all the posts, only a few pages of them but this would be great and make life a little easier.

I had this issue too - just look at very bottom of page, there are settings how many days back you want listing.
The font is so tiny it's easy to miss.
 
Your topic is there for sure.

Lets get the vote count way up there. we need this feature badly.

It seems it just should be automatic... when I add a track in track view it appears in console... should be same for folders... It really is challenging to scroll around... love this idea.

I had posted this over in the other thread requesting CV folders ...
 
Collapsing mixer channels based on folders would be great (although I doubt this would work with the VS-700 but hey we are officially legacy!)
 
I'd like to suggest an option where collapsed folder/channels don't fully disappear but become so narrow that all controls are gone, but the LED meter remains to keep seeing levels ...
 
side effect: cake could add this as a "very narrow" channel view (to allow this view for individual channels) so you could also set up a meter bridge with all channels in a screen set (I know you already can do but with faders requiring larger screen estate) ...

+1 Very reasonable request.

Console-view follows track-view and vicaversa. Tracks in minimized folders hidden or as FreeFlyBertl suggests optionally just showing metering as 'ultra-narrow' mode. Seems like it should be that way. Logical workflow.

Further idea(s), not quite sure about the practicability though:
a) Auto-zoom mode for the Console-view. In focus track is wide the others are either narrow or 'ultra-narrow'
b) 'Bus-follow-expand' mode. -> All channels hidden except for the focused Bus -> it's channels are visible.

Folders idea is in any case voted!!

Glad I found this thread.
 
I've been requesting this for almost 2 years now, since I started beta testing BFD3.
 
BFD3 has a similar feature in the mixer where by you can click on +/- buttons to show and hide each kit pieces sub channels.
 
This helps free up space in the mixer a lot and in truth there aren't normally more than 3 or 4 sub channels in each kit piece anyway so imagine how much more useful it would be in sonars mixer/console when an instrument like BFD3 can have 16 to 32 separate channels.
 
You could even group channels in sonar and hide/reveal those also. They should never be completely hidden (that's what the track manager is for) but should always have a single "master" channel on view.
This would have the +/- button on it to reveal it's subsidiary channels.

I've been hoping for Console View Folders (as implemented in track view) ever since my 1st 25 track project. One more vote.
