 |
|
Hi there,
I don't know, how it is correctly called in the english version, has something like "delay to move objects".
Simply: it doesn't work.
It's annoying when you edit really fast.
Can anybody confirm this?
Thanks, Matze!

Yes it is called "drag delay" in editing preferences.
Simply enter a number here, and it will be totally ignored by cubase. 
And it has never worked properly in C5 - it is too easy to accidentally move parts....

Yeah, should be fixed.
I like Cubase but it could be so much better. So many little annoying things. I hope there will be a 5.51 with some fixes soon.
Cheers, Matze!

This was discussed back in 2009 (I notice you posted in that thread too, DocMa):
http://forum.cubase.net/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=123200
Frustrating to see these kind of bugs just keeps getting ignored.

Yeah, makes me a little sad.
This are the things I need more than new design stuff...

If Steinberg built an aeroplane would you dare fly with them? They'd probably forget to test the steering. And brakes. And engines.
BUT it would be painted a very nice colour, and you could buy some great duty free. That's the most important thing.
Sorry, I know I'm off topic.

Hello,
this function works as intended. When you drag the part "a long way" with the mouse, then the part will move obvious because Cubase sees it as a "drag". When we would increase this amount of "waiting time" then the parts start to jump when you want to move the part a little bit.
You could set the drag delay to 500 ms (max).
In Cubase 4 this behaviour is the same. In Cubase SX3 the behaviour was not consistent.
Gr,
Chris

It depends how you test it!
If the mouse is NOT MOVING when the button is pressed, then you SLOWLY move the mouse, you see the delay taking place before the part moves.
But if you move the pointer quickly, you can drag the part with no delay!
Or if the pointer is in motion when the button is pressed, there is also no delay!

That is not correct. In Cubase 4, the delay is always there both on big and small moves. In C5 the delay is only there on small moves.
The C4 way feels better IMO. In fact, I don't see the point in differentiate between those two moves. Especially when you mention that the SX3 way was not consistent.

Bump!
Drag Delay does NOT work as intended ! It only under carefully controlled circumstances (see earlier post) !
If my mouse movements were carefully controlled, then I would have no need for the drag delay and the world would be perfect.
However, I am not perfect, neither is my mouse, and dragging accidents do happen (all the time - grrrr).
Cubase is not implementing the delay properly !
Please try it out for yourselves and post your findings here. Then maybe SB will fix it.
Set the delay to 500ms and then try dragging some parts with very short mouse clicks - the parts move within a few ms, not 500ms

I guess the challenge here is to get SB to aknowledge that this is a bug. According to a post by Chis, this is "working as intended". When users point out that it doesn't, then no reply from the mods and the thread just fades away.

Used to have some dragging problems a loooong time ago but have not noticed anything unusual about this feature so far.
Dragging works fine here. And at my mate's studio and he drags things about rillly fast. No problem.
So, what is the problem? What does it stop you doing?
And why do you have to edit "really fast"? Professional editing should not be rushed especially on a complex project.

Indeed. Why does technical support have to be such a goddam uphill battle???

It doesn't work here either.
Cheers, Matze!
