The promotion may not be available to users who have previously received a Dropbox promotion through the purchase of a non-HP device. Each user is only eligible for one promotion of this type for a single account. The promotion is for a single Dropbox personal plan account to receive additional storage space for a fixed period of time (exact amount and duration shown in the table below) in addition to the storage space Dropbox offers to users with free accounts. Of course the pin might be a toggle only command, then you'd have to settle for toggle, which usually wouldn't be a problem, but sometimes it would be, meaning loading the FX would remove the pin rather than add it.Terms for the Dropbox promotion for HP devicesįor HP PCs and tablets that have the Dropbox application pre-loaded, the promotion is available to the first user who (a) meets the criteria defined in the table below, and (b) completes the redemption steps. If it is, I would take some extra load time, to add checks to see if the plugin is loaded, and then check for a pin, and do that until it finds a pin. What's annoying to me, is that I feel like its an instance, where I always want to run the same command at the same time, which is basically "hit the pin button after the plugins has loaded" But "plugin is loaded" probably isn't a thing with a name that you can check for. I think the devs are well aware of this, and I'm sure they agree that it sucks, but I think the logistics of fixing it are just really rough, and really, pressing a pin button every time you open a plugin is not the end of the world.
I have the mixer bound to a mouse button for my thumb, so I press it, and it goes full screen, then for plugins, I need to make sure I pin them, which I'm getting pretty used to, but it still gets me. Also that doesn't fixed the docked minimized situation nofish was talking about. This is true, and annoying, but there are worse things. Without being able to the set the mixer as "always at rear", or having a default setting for plugins, we have to manually pin every single FX window. You might be able to use actions like that, to essentially reopen the last plugin you were just using, which might help you out as well. I also have a mouse button which opens the topmost plugin, and my middle scroll side to side cycles through plugins closing one, and opening the next. I use a set of preferences, that make sure that when I'm in a midi editor I have its track selected. There are a number of actions you can work with to quickly and easily access plugins. Some people may also want plugins to be able to hide. Meaning, if you open a new plugin on top of your old one, and pin it, it will be the highest, but if you then unpin your old one, and re-pin it, it now becomes the topmost plugin, which I do find can be handy. Plugins always on top would be fine with me, but when you set a pin, I think it sets a specific level of hierarchy based on what level currently exists. So I would imagine that unpinning it, will immediately solve another good portion of your gripes.
I can't think of any situation where you would want it pinned, either. I think there is something technical with how windows prioritize which makes things difficult to implement in practice.įor the mixer going on top of plugins, that won't ever happen if you don't have your mixer pinned. While you're at it, fix the mixer window!!! When the mixer window is maximized, the bottom portion is hidden behind the taskbar (windows 7/8/10)! It's very annoying to have to cautiously re-size a mixer window to "near" maximum, when I should be able to depend on the OS's window maximizing capability and get an expected result of a non-truncated window that is maximized. Make the mixer window behave in a "always on the bottom" fashion.
Just make the plug-in windows behave in an "always on top" fashion. There are other threads as well of people complaining about the same thing. This (old) thread is full of people who are being driven nuts as well: I've switched back to pro tools for certain sessions because I just couldn't take it anymore. Poor window management is a big turn-off. That current phenomenon of plug-ins windows ever being hidden behind another window is counter-intuitive and should never occur. Destroy the pin- we shouldn't have to click on that tiny little pin to get what should be a default behavior.Įveryone, especially people with dual monitor setups, would find this plug-in window management scheme far more usable. Plug-in windows often are hidden behind the mixer or editing window.
