RE:
[FR] Revert 'Max Versions' of file in the Attic
Hello all,
I'm poking around version 8.9.1.
Several things that initially come to mind:
1.
Bin Settings:
The maximum versions of a file in the Attic has now been limited to 999. It would be great of this could be set back to allowing any value typed in. Why? Because I (and I imagine others) save frequently. I do it so often that I don't even remember having saved just moments previous to when a crash occurs. Previously, I estimated saving 3 times per minute (180 times/hour) and I figured a 10 hour work day. So, I set my Max versions of a bin at 1800 (and max files in a project's attic at five time that number, which is 9000).
2.
Timeline Settings:
Edit Tab > Default Segment Tool
Edit Tab > Default Segment Tool
The default has been changed to Segment Overwrite. This is a **very** welcome change (so, thank you!), though I suggest that it be announced (if it was, and I missed it, I apologize). Additionally, while I'm on that setting, I beg for the labeling be changed to conform to Avid Media Composer terminology. The 2 selections would/should be labeled as: Extract/Splice-In Segment Tool and Lift/Overwrite Segment Tool (ditch the term 'mode' for those).
3.
I was crashing a lot when setting-up new User Settings in 8.9.1å (even with new project, new user, and all new settings in the settings folder inside the app folder). It seemed tied to saving Workspaces or using the keyboard shortcut Cmd = to open the Composer settings (all other methods did not crash). I'm on OS 10.12.5, MBP (late 2011), 16GB RAM. After a dozen crashes and various troubleshooting I think things are working at this point, but I'm not sure what did the trick, sorry.
4.
And, totally unrelated to anything above (#2 made me think of it), I'm lobbying for the Red Smart Tool Trim to be renamed to match it's Red Segment Tool counterpart (can it be labeled as a tool, rather than a mode, in all locations now, too?). So, IMHO, it should rightly be named as Lift/Overwrite Trim. I know for most this seems minor but, as as someone who teaches the software, consistency is helpful for someone who is learning. Additionally, the exceptional behavior of the tool is that it Lifts material out, leaving Filler behind.
Thanks gang!
Thanks gang!
Cheers,
