I think this would be very helpful. When copying and pasting large blocks of events, it can sometimes take several min. That is time I could be doing something else. If it could estimate time remaining, that would be the icing on the cake!

A cancel button would be great too. As I type, I am waiting on a 5 min paste that I put in the wrong spot!

5 minute paste... yikes! What are y'all copying and pasting??
I'll look into this for a future version as well as if there are any performance improvements which can be done in there. It only takes 5-10 seconds to open the whole file... shouldn't take 5 minutes to paste!

Ok, ok. I may be exaggerating a little. ;) I am copying whole channels and groups of up to 4 channels. I am going from 16 chs. to 144 chs. and coping similar element channels makes for quick groundwork. For example I had 1 channel of icicles last year, this year I have 8. So I copied channel 1 to 2 & 3 & 4, then I copied chs. 1-4 to 5-8. Then I went back and deleted/added events where needed. I am sure it is not just my computer, at home I run a 2.2 Ghz Athlon X2 and at work I have the Q6600 C2D quad core both with 4 Gb ram. I'll put a timer on the next pasting.

Depending on how may channels you were really copying, you may not be to far off. For the heck of it, I copied a 16 channels of my 21 leaping arches and tried to past it into a new controller. 5 minutes , 10 seconds That was a 2 minute song which 60% of the events being on those 16 channels. (8724 events, 1346 snap points.)
I will say some of the other complex copy and pastes I've done, 20-30 seconds of 5-10 channels normally take around 20-30 seconds to a minutes. |

Well there is certainly some performance improvements we can make in there then, but not until 2009. Being mid-November, anything that isn't broken (as in show stopping unusable) doesn't get fixed until 2009, lest we accidentally break something more major in the process.

Remember, Auora got a lot more complex with this last update. Essentially Aurora is compiling a lot more data than it used to, and that takes more processing time.

Thats small potatoes. Take a 64ch sequence and try adding W2E to all channels for the entire duration!
Hint: Come back in an hour or two.
 Not that anyone (in their right mind) would do this, but it tends to put things into perspective.

This is a minor issue.....It does function, you can just go get a drink or get rid of the drink you just had
 Should be done when you come back.... Edited by ChrisL1976 - 10 Nov 2008 at 4:05pm |
