Hello everyone!!! (and update request)

[Ash]

Hello everyone, hope you are all well and enjoying Cakewalk by Bandlab.

I'm a long time listener, first time caller!!

I've often frequented the Cakewalk forums right back from the original so I'm no newbe to how it flows here!

  Like many of us, I started using Cakewalk back in the days of Sonar. I started with 8.5 and purchased every iteration up until Bandlab took over.

   I think that Bandlab are doing a fantastic job and that Cakewalk has never been better than it is now. 

   I hope that its development remains strong and fruitful and I send my best regards to all at Bandlab and to everyone that uses this great DAW.

 

 I would like to suggest a straight forward update request regarding the browser on Cakewalk.

 I find that when browsing through a samples folder for instance using the browser, it is all too easy to accidentally double click a file which then highlights the file in blue and brings up the cusor to rename the file. It is also very easy to then have the name of the file disappear completely when clicking away auditioning samples.

I see that right clicking on a file does give 'Rename' as an option, so I don't really see that the double click action needs to be implemented?

Not sure if others have found this an issue? or if I'm missing a major reason that this behaviour needs to be in place?

I understand that this 'problem' is totally avoidable by single clicking only on files, but for me my click finger 'muscle memory' often goofs it up for me!

Well, that's my first post everyone, hello again!!

Keep up the great work Bandlab, you are doing a FANTASTIC job!!!

Ash.

+1 on this. 

I too find myself names disappearing from my samples without doing a rename - it's annoying.

Noel is right, it's the second time single click on an item that's highlighted already turns it into rename. Could be gone since there's F2 and right click, that would unclutter the experience.

That said, I'd love the whole browser being updated with a simple waveform or a small transport so that we could be able to select/change position when auditioning very long wave files.

I agree - have done it myself a few times

The whole browsing of samples needs a rethink IMHO...it can be so slow to search for something when you have GBs of samples
