Track List Column always shrinks

Post by swpowe »

Is there a way to save the track layout where the track list columns are showing? Currently, every time I go to any view other than track view and then come back, the columns get hidden by the tracks. I have input, output, enable, solo, name all showing but every time I leave track view and come back, my view shrinks so I can only see the first couple columns. I'd like to have a view or something saved where I can see all of the columns or as many as I'd like. I know there is a preference to turn columns on and off but nothing I've found tells me how I can save the view so I can see all the columns I've enabled. I've tried a window set but that doesn't save what I'm looking for. Suggestions?

I think that is a bug with the UI scaling and has been brought up here before. If you don't have the UI scaled up, then the tracks view works without having to slide the divider over to show your columns. I have the UI scaled and have the same bad behavior. Hopefully fixed in the next release.

This is working OK here with or without scaling. You might want to post the specifics of your setup so others with the same or similar can see if they can repeat it.

It's a 10.01 bug that MOTU has acknowledged. It only happens when the scaling is engaged.

A follow up: I read somewhere there's a solution that I haven't tried-If you install v.10 first, and then 10.01, it's OK. I went directly to 10.01 first, so maybe that's why not everyone has the problem.

Ok, that's weird but thanks for the heads-up. I'm ok but I did have 10.0 installed first. :?:

I went 10 to 10.01 and have the problem. It's also cross platform - DP Windows has the same issue.

Same with me. I've gone from 10 to 10.01, and I've got the same problem on my Mac and PC.
