| Summary | 0001531: "open new track" bounded to that workspace, from within i open that dialog for the first time in the session | ||||
| Description | this might be related to the bug-0001346, but since it is called 'resolved' now i open a new one. (perhaps the fix is simply not yet in the svn, if so, please let me know). working here in fluxbox, i always have the editor in the workspace2 and the mixer in the workspace3. if i open a session and create a track from the editor, and than try to create the track from the mixer, the "new track" dialog will appear in the editor workspace. if i restart the session and than first go to the mixer and create the track from there, and than go to editor, trying to create the track, the dialog will always appear in the mixer. so it is like, the "new track" dialog is always bounded to that workspace, from within i open a track first. it is always only for one session. in the next session it will be bounded to that workspace, from within i open the "new track" dialog for the first time. cheers, doc | ||||

this appears very hard to fix. it seems that most (all?) window managers interpret making a dialog a "transient child" of a given window binds it to the workspace of the parent window. i've now tried it in 3 WM's and it worked the same in every one. this is inspite of ardour resetting the transient relationship explicitly. the only way around this is to create a new dialog every time, which is a significant effort since you want the settings from the last time to persist. |

paul, no idea why, but in xfce4 this is really working. i can call the plugin editors or the 'open new track' dialog from what ever workspace, where the editor or the mixer are living. for me this is resolved, but perhaps still an issue in other WM's. cheers, doc |
