A temporary solution to closing edits is to
rescan for plugins. Tracktion will then
close the edit before a scan...

This is just a temp but still...

explain why you would want to close a edit if your not loading another one or closing Tracktion?

To not to have to close Tracktion or mute all tracks to save some cpu and ram. If you take a look in the forum there is a thread discussing this.

I dunno. I've admitted that I sometimes reach for one, but man... it's REALLY low on my list of priorities. ;)

I can't vote, because I'm not really in the "yes" camp, but if I said "no" it would be a lie. Null vote!

going into the projects page or the settings page will free up all cpu being used by the plugins inside T2 ;)

was there any other reason? apart from the Ram thing (witch i can understand)

Why is this a problem? I don't see what the issue is.

He just wanted to be able to free up resources for times that, say, he wanted to watch a video or whatnot instead of working on his song, but didn't want to go through the trouble of closing and re-opening Tracktion.

Well, just because you don't see it others may...

Doesn't minimizing do this?

Sure, for CPU.

Same as tabbing to another page. Nothing's being processed, so no CPU is being used. Neither of them free up RAM, mind you.

But since the original poster just wanted to make sure his CPU was being freed up, I guess it's all clear now.

Hey, *I* am not the one who was requesting it. ;) I just keep Tracktion open (on the edit page, even) when I want to do other stuff. There's nothing else I do that requires enough RAM or CPU to bother. If I want to play a game, I'm closing Tracktion anyhow. :D

I'm of the personal opinion that 10 seconds to reload Tracktion isn't going to tear my life away. ;)

OK OK, the reason why I requested one was that I use several apps which demands much cpu, and I didn't know any of the ones above.

So to close this,

thank you all:)
Say YES to OpenSource Software!!
