| Summary | 0006770: Start and End Markers are moving unexpectedly | ||||
| Description | The "start" and "end" markers are moving without user input. 2 ways I've found to reproduce. There are probably more: 1) Manually drag the start and end markers. ( They should no longer be free to move automatically. ) 2) split a region 3) undo the split *) The End marker will move to the end of all recorded audio 1) select a range, and choose "set session start/end to selected range". 2) move a region that starts to the "left" of the start marker *) the start marker will move to match the start time of the moved region Initial report here: http://mixbus.harrisonconsoles.com/forum/thread-2231.html | ||||

Looking at the code it looks as though this behaviour is intentional and there is no facility/option to turn it off at present unless I'm missing something. Most(all?) changes to a playlist will trigger a re-computation of the session start/end markers and update them if necessary. |

There used to be a flag, "free to move" IIRC, which told the End marker whether it had been set by the user. Once set by the user, the Start/End were no longer free to move. This code seems to have been removed. Perhaps it was changed long ago and I didn't notice. Current operation seems wrong to me. The "moving start/end markers" have been reported by several users as a bug. Once I've manually set the start/end for my session, I want to export the same range every time(*); regardless of edits that happen within the session range. (*) with the /possible/ exception that /newly recorded/ regions would extend the end marker. |

IIRC consensus was "they move automatically until moved at least once by the user manually" -- but that's not what current happens, either. |

This is still an issue in 5.5 Although it seems to only be an issue for the Session Start Marker when moving a Region earlier than the Start Marker on the timeline. The End Marker does not move automatically. |
