Subject:Select in chopper - in Acid3 used to show immediately

When I used to use the "select in chopper" r-click command in Acid 3.0(whilst in track window) the chopper used to pop up immediately down the bottom. In 4.0 it does not! Now I've bided my time as I thought I'd get used to it, but it still bugs me. I've not seen any other mention in the forums since the update. Has anyone else noticed this?

Thanks

Greg

I'm not in front of Acid right now, but I remember having a similar problem when I started up Acid 4.0 (both in terms of the chopper and the explorer window). If you go to the "View" menu, it should bring up the chopper, and you should be able to "dock" it in the bottom of the screen by dragging the window down there. It should now become a permanent fixture there until you remove it or undock it.

As a side note, on numerous occasions I have accidentally "docked" all sorts of windows - Effects, VSTi Synths, etc, in the bottom window, and it took me forever to figure out how "undock" them. But there's a thin vertical line on the left of each docked window, which you can use to pull each panel out so it's "floating" in the project.

Hope this helps,
Ian

Thanks for your help. But its more a smaller problem as I know I can get to the chopper by dragging or hitting the arrow, but its just when I am working on a piece in the track view window, there is a command on right click which says select in chopper. It then moves whatever is in the bottom window i.e. fx, properties and changes it to show the chopper. It's small I know, but I really miss this feature. Thank you again for your suggestions.

I have the "Select in Chopper" right-click command in ACID 4.0b (if that helps)...

You have to select and highlight an actual event first (or just right-click right on an event).
