Trash can icon for dragging/dropping filters?

Hello,

I'm a new Tracktion 2 user(switched from Logic), and I'm really liking my decision to switch. One feature that I feel would be cool, is a trash can icon, that you can drag filters or clips to. It's so intuitive to add filters by dragging and dropping...I think it would be nice if we delete them the same way.

regards,
BC

Pressing the Delete button on yr keyboard isn't inuitive enough? :wink:

Its a cool idea. I suggested that you should be able to drag filters completely off the screen to delete :cool: . But I think it got shut down. This was about a year ago. Maybe it would be a little too dangerous tho.

Not when you're using MKey and it's capturing every keystroke. :D
This just came up recently, but was, like most feature requests, shot down. :x

I've said it before and will say it again... it would complete the particular method of handling things, if both adding and deleting stuff happened in a similar fashion. Not that it's a big issue for me, but adding half of the functionality isn't as intuitive.

(It's this thing called interface design, which makes little issues like this one pop out... and T is a breath of fresh air in this regard, it could just use some fine tuning)

First of all, I run two monitors :razz: ;). Second of all, I'm not a programmer so I dont know. But it wouldnt have to be off the screen, it could be towards to top, or the left, etc. Kinda like how you can remove guides in photoshop by dragging them off the work space.

No need to add an icon you just drag it back to the filter icon...... hmm I like this idea, you simply send him home, where he came from in the first place.

I can't understand how clicking and dragging something to a small(ish) target is easier than clicking and pressing the delete key. Isn't there a Delete Filter button in the context area too?
