Object view and selection
Objects are displayed in a tree structure and sorted according to tracks, whereby only tracks are listed
that actually contain objects. As an option you can choose to display objects of the current tracks only (
Toolbar
: "Options").
You can use the +/- keys of the toolbar to open and close the track object display in the entire window.
Click on the "+" symbol left of the track number to explode the view of a single track.
Selecting objects:
A square check box next to the object name lets you select single or multiple objects. These will then
appear in the project window as "selected". If an object is selected that is part of an object group, then
the other objects of the selection are also selected in the project window and object manager. You can
recognize grouped objects by the number of the object groups in the object manager group bar.
Search for objects:
As in other manager windows, the object manager also provides a search option that allows you to
search for objects in the current window. Enter a search item into the box and press "Return". Found
objects are highlighted, but are not selected in the project window.
Deleting, renaming and editing objects
You can delete objects directly in the object manager by selecting one or several objects simultaneously
and pressing "Del". Alternatively, you can delete an object via its context menu.
You can rename objects by double clicking on the object name and entering a new name. The procedure
of changing a marker position directly in the list is the same.
To edit an object directly from the object manager, right click on the object you want to edit and start the
object editor.
Edit object parameters
You can edit the following object parameters in the object manager:
Start position
Length
End
Volume
Lock
To edit a parameter, double click on the relevant value and enter a different value. Numerical values can
be changed by drag & drop with the mouse, and "Ctrl + Shift" allows larger or smaller value changes.
"Tab" switches to the next editable value. The up and down cursor arrows permit vertical navigation
within a column from one text box to another.
