and select replace this filter. It does not replace, but just adds your new selection on the same track outside of the rack.

Hey, which T2 build are you using?

I thought I tested it on the latest build, but platinumears suggests that I may not have. I'm not on front of Tracktion now to verify that.

I am looking at 2.0.1.4 March 29, 2005 and I don't have the ability to replace a filter in a rack... The option to replace is not a greyed out option, it simply doesn't appear on the pop-up.

That chimes with what 'ears suggests.

pw, it sounds like you[1] don't have the latest build installed.

Not correct. I have 2.0.1.4, March 29 2005.

Now, I have done some further testing.

Right click produces different drop down menu's within a rack, depending on if you:

(1) load a blank rack and start to build (no option to replace filter with another type, (as 'ears and darcyb62 suggest) or if

(2) you right click on a normal filter outside of a rack, and choose the 'wrap this filter in new rack filter option'. In the this second case, you have the option that I mentioned in the first post, that doesn't work properly.

So, there is clearly a bug here.

In fact, I discovered this because I was going to post a feature request to replace filters within a rack without re-looming, because I was sure it wasn't possible. I went to check, and discovered what is documented here in my first post.

Interesting! Sounds like the bug wasn't squashed as thoroughly as I thought.. I'll check that when I get home.

I'm guessing the replace filters option was removed because there is no way to predict how many ins & outs the replacement would have, and what to do if they didn't match up to the current filter.

.. although it would be nice if it brought up a list which had been filtered to only show plugs with matching IO configurations..

Okay. Thanks for looking at this guys.

??? I hope this is not the logic...surely 90% of plug-ins (at least) are simply stereo in/out, and the remainder could just sequentially connect starting from the first output, or some other arbitrary rule. Doesn't sound to me to be a reason to drop it as a feature though.

I tried this and pw's right... It only happens if you wrap the filter into a rack filter and then do the replace.

valley · Post by **valley** » Thu May 19, 2005 3:51 pm

yeah, that is step sequence I followed, so I guess that's why I saw the bug...

sorry, for further confusing an already confusing situation.

more interestingly (for me at least): how are we going to know which bugs have been fixed when the next version comes out? (sorry for ot)

a clear difinitive list of whats been fixed from this point forward would be nice with the 2.xx+ updates.
