FIP GeBall Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 (edited) Feature Request: Hello Bakers, Can we please make it where when choosing Inputs or Outputs for Tracks we can use the mouse wheel to scroll through the list? Even better: Could you place each section of the input/output lists in collapsible/expandable format, so if I'm looking to choose Channels I can expand the channel list, same method for choosing Buses and Auxes (each would have their own collapsible list once we click on the input or output arrow within a Track). Most appreciated! Edited January 18, 2021 by FIP GeBall Refresh Topic 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will. Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 And can we please get the mouse wheel to work on "Insert Audio FX" from the FX bin too Bakers. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd definitely agree with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one's been endlessly requested, and unfortunately, the answer from the devs is that the Windows function Cakewalk uses for this doesn't recognize the wheel, so it's not just a matter of turning it on. From this I would guess that doing it some other way would require too much re-tooling. My workaround is that I created a category called "A-List" that contains the dozen or so go-to FX I use in every project. Since "A-List" begins with "A" that category is at the top of my list, hence no scrolling needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a new feature such as the Arranger and the recent "Dynamic waveform" can be done, surely this can be coded in as well. There's progress bars all over in Cakewalk. Windows allow this all over their platform. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petemus Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 If the items are sorted alphabetically, some submenus could be generated so that menu scrolling is not needed. Another option Windows API gives is to break the menu into columns. Both of these are pretty bad, usability-wise. The best option would probably to implement/use a better popup menu component, which could even have an incremental search field and proper mouse wheel support. Could probably work almost as a direct replacement of the current menu class calls in the code. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will eliminate that torture of mouse click, if the list get out of memory and stretched out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Morgon-Shaw Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 +1 to all the above Also I have previously asked that the Pro Channel knobs be movable using the scroll wheel. The knobs on the console do..as do most 3rd party plugin eq's etc so why not the Pro Channel - it would be much slicker to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjoens Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 There are other menus with the same issue. Any and all "lists" should be scrollable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you create your own category or categories that start with the letter "A" and select Sort By Category, you'll get those categories up at the top. I only have one of these, which is "A-List," and I put my most-used FX into that category (in addition to the usual categories of Compressor, Reverb, Utilities, etc.). As workarounds go, it works pretty well in practice. Instead of scrolling all the way down to Spatial or Tools or Transient Shapers to get my most-used FX in those categories, Sidewidener, MAutoAlign and Imprint, they're all in the top pop-out menu.
