Does tracktion/waveform still do these stupid things?

[metamorphosis]

Haven't updated for a while,
kinda pissed at the lack of 32-bit support in later versions but would consider a bridge plugin if the following are fixed as yet:
* Tracktion recreates different thumbnails for wav file clips, for each edit, takes an eternity on a large project to get back up and going.
* Tracktion recreates slowed down/sped-up versions of clips (elastique), for each edit.
* Tracktion fails, in some cases, to begin creating thumbnails until track is played or until you view that part of the edit.
* Tracktion creates thumbnails concurrently across all tracks rather than sequentially, ie. the slowest possible way you can ever process a bunch of files. Even worse on non-ssd.
* Tracktion fails to carry over frozen tracks between edits.
* Tracktion stores track freezes and wav thumbnails somewhere other than the project folder.

Not sure about the rest, but these two are still the same. It seems to me the waveforms get drawn a bit faster than before (W9), but it's still incredibly slow on very large projects. I like W11 for simple projects, but it's unusable for me with larger projects.

I'm talking about 32 track live recordings of 2.5 to 3 hours long. Sure, these are huge files, but Reaper manages to do it in mere moments, and doesn't decide to randomly redo them every time you turn around.

Again, I like W11 a lot. It seems considerably more stable for me than any version in recent memory. I just can't use it for large projects.

Ah, that sucks. Yeah even on 15-minute 32-bit 96khz renders of tracks it takes ages. It's a shame because it used to do things the right way in terms of scanning (sequential). But it never saved peak files per-project, only per-edit, which makes no sense.

Another bizarre behaviour (and again, I don't know if it's present in T11):
when the edit is in it's 'rendering peak files' phase, if you zoom in to a part of the edit, then zoom back out again, Traction forgets that it's already rendered some of the peak files outside of the zoomed-in level and re-renders them all over again.
