it would be really useful if as many people on this list as possible could
provide some information about which of the align commands they currently
use.
On the tracks menu, there are two sub menus for aligning: the align sub
menu, and the move selection when aligning sub menu. When you use the
commands on the second of these sub menus, the cursor or selection is
moved, as well as the audio being moved.
To provide feedback, if you could answer some or all of these questions,
that would be helpful.
1. Do you use only one of these sub menus, and if so, which one?
2. Do you use both of these sub menus? And if you do, some information on
the different tasks which you use the different menus would be useful.
3. None of the commands on these sub menus have default shortcuts. Have you
assigned keyboard shortcut to any of these commands, and if so, which ones.
Just to give the background to why I'm requesting feedback on this. For the
next version of Audacity, the menus are being changed around a bit. The
current thinking for the align commands is just to have one align sub menu,
along with an option specifying whether or not the cursor/selection is also
moved. However, it's important that this reorganization doesn't have a
negative effect on people's workflow. Hence the request for information
about how people use the two existing align sub menus.
After people given some feedback to the questions above, I may post some
follow up questions, depending on peoples answers,
thanks,
David.
