Are labels moving properly with insertion/deletion of audio?

Post by Reto » Fri Oct 15, 2010 3:45 am

Hi,

Firstly, thank you so much for offering such an excellent program without charge.

Is there by chance an alpha or beta release that is sufficiently stable, where if one inserts audio in a track above a label track, the labels will move right by the correct amount? Similarly, when deleting, the labels move left as audio is deleted between them.

(fyi) I had asked this in early July and tried an alpha version at that time, but had problems with it, so I'm currently back on the 1.3.12-beta.

Thanks again,
Reto

1.3.13a (nightly build) is very good with this. It is now called Sync-Lock and there is an icon in the toolbar to turn it on/off.

Edgar - thanks. How's the stability of this alpha release (compared to 1.3.12 beta).

Thanks, Reto

Hi, can you tell me where to get a built version of the alpha release line?

Much appreciated, thanks. Any comment on stability of the load is also greatly appreciated.

I use 1.3.13a (building SVN HEAD daily) every day in a production environment. I use it for at least eight hours a day and find it to be extremely stable. Generally the only problems I have are with fairly minor interface issues – I think it should do something one way while the Development Team thinks it should do it a different way.

There are known bugs (you can read them here:)

but none of the major bugs affect my workflow.
