Summary | 0009303: Ability to rename sources in Sources list has gone missing since update to 7.3 (perhaps one update earlier) | ||||
Description | When importing a source - or when bouncing a region to "sources list" - it was possible (at least in 6.x-7.1) to later shift+l to view sources list and rename the bounced/imported region by double-clicking it. In 7.3 this is not possible anymore. And it is sorely missed when working on large podcast/radio features with large amounts of clips from various field-recordings. Can it please come back in the next update? | ||||
Steps To Reproduce | Import media to sources list - or bounce a region to sources list - shift+L to view sources list, double-click the source you want to rename. It used to open a writing-field where one could then type in the new name. Currently it does nothing. Right-clicking will only give the option to delete source from project. | ||||
Additional Information | This feature is a great selling point for podcast & radio work. It used to be there in previous version, but has gone missing after update. Image illustrates how it used to be possible. | ||||

This change was intentional. The behavior is now like it was for Ardour 2-4. Since Ardour 5ish, a single click started an edit operation, and it was not easily possible to drag soruce files from the sidebar to the timeline. Now an unmodified click starts a drag and to edit the name use "Alt + click". |
|
Ah, OK. I did notice that it took some clicking-around to get to drag sources before. But, I just tried the Alt+click, and instead of getting what has been described here, I just got to move the whole window of Ardour around. I'm using KDE Trisquel - could it be a KDE-desktop setting that messes it up for me? Is there a place in Ardour where the key-combo can be changed for this command? Thanks for taking the time to respond :) |
|
It seems to be, since I can make it work under Windows now. Any ideas how to do a workaround for KDE? Switch to MATE desktop instead, maybe? |
|
These days most DE on Linux use the "Windows" key (rather than Alt) to access the window-manager functionality. Perhaps you can configure the KDE to do that? |
|
I'm on Manjaro KDE, Ardour 7.3. My system is configured like x42 is mentioning, the "Windows" key will access window-manager. ALT-click on a source seems no different from click, however ALT-DOUBLE-click allows me to change the name. May I ask that this feature becomes available whith RIGHT-click on the source? Currently the only available action then is `remove` while it would be nice if it was working the same way as right-click on a snapshot for example. |

Please disregard the line " ALT-click on a source seems no different from click, however ALT-DOUBLE-click allows me to change the name." from my previous post. ALT-click DOES allow to change the name.. |
