Subject:ACID v5 bug Posted by: spinweb Date:1/31/2005 3:00:27 PM Don't know if others have found this... If I zoom in on a track section on a project's timeline.... ACID v5 does NOT always take me there. I wind up who knows where, but not where I asked ACID to take me. Is this program having flashbacks?! :) Eric
Subject:RE: ACID v5 bug Reply by: JohnnyRoy Date:1/31/2005 6:01:18 PM ACID zooms in on the current cursor position. Is this not what you’re seeing? When you say “zoom in on a track section”, are you highlighting an area of the timeline and expecting ACID to zoom in on it? That’s not what the normal Zoom (i.e., Up or Down arrow) does. To do that you need to use Zoom to Loop Region (Ctrl+Up). The only way the normal ACID zoom would zoom in on a track section is if the current cursor position was in the middle of that section. If that’s not what you mean, can you come up with a step-by-step reproducible test case that does something different? ~jr
Subject:RE: ACID v5 bug Reply by: spinweb Date:2/1/2005 6:51:02 AM Let's say I'm looking at a track zoomed in 2x. If I then use the zoom tool in the lower right of the area where your tracks are and zoom in further on a part of what I'm viewing, it seems that sometimes it takes me there and sometimes I wind up looking at blank timeline. I don't believe that ever happened in v4. I do web graphics and use Photoshop and Flash. I guess I'm used to zoom behaving in the way I describe above. That is, whatever you zoom in on gets bigger. Cheers, Rick
Subject:RE: ACID v5 bug Reply by: JohnnyRoy Date:2/1/2005 8:33:33 AM I still have ACID 4.0 installed and it behaves exactly the same way. If you play your project and the cursor stops at the end of your project (or beyond) and you press zoom, it will zoom in on the end of your project where the cursor is. ACID has no way of knowing where you eyes are looking. It has always zoomed in on the cursor position and NOT any “section” of the timeline. I use Paint Shop Pro and it works exactly the same way. When I zoom in, it centers on where the mouse is and quite often this is not where I was planning on zooming. (I just wanted the whole picture to get bigger in place, probably as you want the timeline to just get bigger in place) I have since gotten use to positioning my mouse to the center of where I want to zoom before I zoom. Bottom line: this not a bug. This is the intended behavior and is consistent with ACID 4. ~jr
