In case the user wanted to create a new track between V2 and V3, the procedure would be almost the same, just having to press Ctrl (or another modifier key) to enable the insertion of new track between any two tracks. As I envision it, the time where the selected clip would be dropped would be always marked by an inverted triangle (maybe smaller than the timeline cursor one) in the time ruler. That way, while dragging, the user will have an exact feedback of the time in which the clips will be dropped, no matter if this is done above all or between any two tracks. Which rises your very valid question: > Why would I need a modifier for this? Why not make track separation lines > sensitive areas from the very start? Well (and that's debatable, of course, but) the main reason I imagined the use of a modifier key for track insertion between existent tracks, was to avoid the timeline to become a "Xmas tree" every time the user drags a clip to a track for other purposes. Dragging a clip above the top-most track (or bottom-most track) is a very specific action that I think could trigger the dashed line (or even open that cool preview, @balooii showed us) without causing noticeable hassle or being distracting if activated by error, but I guess, having dashed lines or mini track previews appearing and disappearing as the mouse cursor travels over each tracks division line could be. So the solution to avoid that would be that, only when the user "declares an intention" to do so (by pressing Ctrl) the said dashed lines would be shown. Maybe there could be alternate solutions to that, and I'm totally open to them. :) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
