Tracktion hangs (crashes) when moving all clips with automation

Hello,

When I want to move a whole song, for example to create extra bars at the beginning, I first select all clips. Then I get the following problems:

1. When I use the J-shortcut ( move start of selected clips to cursor position) the automation tracks don't follow, even when the 'Auto Lock' function is on.

2. When I use the mouse to grap all tracks and move them, the program hangs (crashes) during the task when 'Auto Lock' is on. When 'Auto Lock' is off, all tracks move except the automation.

So there is no way to move all tracks with the automation. Anyone?

I have the same issue it seems to happen on my edits any where after 50 or so bars.

Same issue here, since T5 all the way to T7.

I think they should keep building up with updates T6 as well as T7 because I feel T6 should just be labeled as Tracktion standard version in the next two years or so. This will allow them to keep making new versions whith new ideas while also keeping a stable T6 getting better.

It would be great if this is being fixed!

I can't seem to replicate this. Can someone upload an Edit which exhibits the behaviour? I'm assuming this has to be a large Edit with lots of automation? I shouldn't need any audio files etc. for this, just the .tracktionedit file.

Any news on this topic? Can you replicate this?

I can't replicate a crash, I think it's just that moving lots of automation takes a long time to compute. This is proportional to the amount of automation present in the Edit. This means the process shouldn't crash but will hang whilst the new automation positions are calculated. It should finish after a few seconds (which I know is far from ideal).

We'll look at improving performance for this operation but it's unlikely to be a quick fix.

In the mean time, if all you want to do is add some space at the start of a track you could try selecting all tracks and then clicking "Insert into Tracks" -> "Insert space in the marked region". That should be a lot quicker.

Thanks for you advice, the only problem with "Insert space in the marked region" is that markers aren't being moved.

Is it perhaps possible to change the J-shortcut ( move start of selected clips to cursor position), so that automation is being moved as well?
