Weird copying region behaviour

I wonder if anybody else is familiar with this behaviour...
Normaly you copy a region by using the ALT key and dragging... this creates a new region with the postfix .1 which is independend of the original region.
When you add the SHIFT key (used (by me) to copy the region at exactly the same position on another track) it creates a copy, but it DOESN"T add the postfix. If you edit the length of this (copied) region it will also alter the length of the original region... If in the meantime you changed the position of the 'new' region, you're not aware that you're also editing the original...
Very bad 'feature' in my opinion. I should think the use of the SHIFt key should only affect the dragging behaviour. Or it should say so in the new region that it isn't a copy but the same region... It ****** up many a song for me in the past until I finally tested today what was causing this...

maybe...
I remember in 'the old days' (I'm not sure if it's the same key combination) you could make ghost copies... Yes, they were (are?) usefull, but they used to look very different... I remember something like --> added to the name and an italic look to them... This made it very clear that you were dealing with the original... Now I realy have to look carefully that I'm not ******* up anything somewhere else in the song...
I would say that aligning the new region the way you want it and changing the way it's copied are two different things and should have two different key combinations -or have their workings be added to the name / look of the new region.
Again, now I know what exactly the problem is, but it took me a while to find out why my songs / edits got so ******...

    When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive.  It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas?  I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

  • No luck copying regions

    Hi,
    Ive tried option click to copy regions & all it does is drag the region. any help?
    Ive managed to do it via the local region menu but would like to be able to do it either way.

    Hmm, I had overlooked that there was a small error log created. It says
    sieve: info: started log at Apr 06 04:05:53.
    main_script: line 8: error: require command: unknown Sieve capability 'imapflags'.
    main_script: line 8: error: require command: unknown Sieve capability 'notify'.
    main_script: error: validation failed.
    Line 8:
    require ["fileinto","envelope","reject","vacation","imapflags","relational","comparator -i;ascii-numeric","notify","body"];
    I removed those and tested and it works (at least with one simple test)

  • Copy region to page and now page wont display

    I copied a region from one page to another page .... now the page I copied the region to wont display ...... get error "page cannot be found ...." the pages that wont display has 2 regions on it ..... anytime I set the copied region to display the page will not render .... if I set only the original region on the page to display it works fine .... but anytime I try to display the copied region, I get the problem .... can anybody tell me why this may be happening ????
    thank you for your help

    Scott:
    I have enclosed some lines from the access and error logs that I think identify the issue ..... the 2 lines on either side of the asterisks (*****) below show the call to app=300 on the one hand and the error on the other .... is there any way from the error id info to determine which page item is causing the problem ???
    thank you,

  • Address Book - Weird text field behaviour

    In Address Book when I try to edit any text field weird things happen.
    When I start typing all the previous characters are repeated with each keystroke - for example typing "Thomas" would become TThThoThomThomaThomas". Pressing the backspace, delete or the ESC key repeats only the keystrokes made, i.e. "Thomas" would be added to the end of "TThThoThomThomaThomas".
    If I click into another field and start typing it still remembers all the previous keystrokes and puts all of them in front of the key I just pressed.
    Additionally, nothing can be typed in the notes field.
    I've tried deleting:
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.abd.plist
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.plist
    but that doesn't fix it.
    Anything in ~/Library/Application Support/Address Book be the problem?
    When I log in a a guest user this behaviour is not present.

    It's good that you tried this on a different account. That suggests that the problem exists somewhere in your user account directory. I don't think anything in ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/ would cause this. Do you have any input managers installed? These might be in ~/Library/Input Managers/ or something like that. I've never installed one myself, so I am not certain where they are. I think if you find one, you can just remove it from that folder by dragging it out, and then restarting Address Book might solve the issue.

  • Copying region from a pdf document

    In previous versions of Acrobat Professional (v.6 and before) it was possible to copy a region from a document either as an image or as a text (if avilable) depending on the choice of the tool. I didn't find this possibility in Acrobat 8 Standard, is it still available in any of the current Pro versions?

    Many thanks, Lori!
    It works and this feature is available in Acrobat 8 Standard. Great help to me and my collegues. Apparently v.8 has some OCR features built-in and can recognise text area using object tool. Hovewer it makes a mess with images and the snapshot tool really saves a day here.

  • Copy Regions

    For some reason I can't copy or cut a region. When I select it the copy or cut doesn't work. I'm trying to pull the region over a little but when I do it places it in the wrong place and splices the track before it so I figured it would be easier to cut and paste but that doesn't work either. I would just copy each individual track and pull it over but I am assuming the pans and volume changes will only pull with the track if you do it by region. Any suggestions?

    I think a region is what you name at the top of the tracks to distinguish between chorus, verse, etc? Correct? That is what I can't copy, cut or paste. I can select a bunch of tracks and copy and move or whatever but not the region. Does that make sense? I figured out my other problem. I had a blank spot at the beginning of the region so when I moved it, it was moving that too, and screwing me up. If I am using the term region wrong what should I be calling it?

  • Weird parameter regional format

    Hello,
    see the history of this post: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/94d76130-e328-4fa7-be45-e2b59e827c23/regional-setting-for-report-service-parameter?forum=sqlreportingservices
    is this a known issue? basically what happens (copy & paste):
    "did installed SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services in Sharepoint Mode into a Sharepoint Foundation 2013. Server Language is English, but regional settings are German (i.e. date format, etc.). Also configured the regional setting for the sites to German,
    nevertheless the parameter for my reports are still shown in US format. The interesting is that in the report, teh correct locale is taken, but the parameters seem to take their local from somewhere else. Where from?"
    another user was able to replicate the issue, as stated in the thread:
    "I made a test on my test machine. I changed
    locale to German(German), and then open the report the date format is M/D/YYYY 12:00:00 AM. Clicked the calendar icon to select a value, the date format is dd.mm.yyyy. Sometimes it changed back to M/D/YYYY 12:00:00 AM after I clicked the Apply button and sometimes
    not. In my option, it is likely a potential issue in SharePoint. It is recommended to post the issue on SharePoint forum. You may also submit this issue to Microsoft
    Connect. It
    is a public place where we can post the bugs and suggestions."

    That should be the port in octet form, with [x.x.x.x.y1.y2] you get the port with: (y1*256)+y2
    This seems to be a Solaris specific behavior when it doesn't find the hostname (DNS and /etc/hosts) it uses this format.

  • Weird DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance() behaviour

    problem summary
    ==============
    jvm breaks when I call DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance(). I suspect its something to do with security but no exception is caught in the try...catch block where DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance() is called.
    Other info about the problem
    ======================
    I'm working on an application that use 'presence service' and message queue service. When I use Sun's message queue service, jvm doesn't break. But when I use a SKype client (jskype) jvm always fail even though jskype doesn't reference DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance() at all. Anyone?

    That's great thinking Fred.
    I've working on a much cut down and simplified version with just program changes to find out the cause of the behaviour.
    I tried your note off suggestion without success, but your comment on the original multi being "blocked" led me to route the final events to a second copy of the multi instrument rather than the original, and it works - the custom bank changes are correctly output!
    Maybe there's some kind of internal message validation or something, I'm not quite sure. But using a second copy of the multi instrument - though not ideal - is a perfectly acceptible workaround.
    So thanks for the pointer - you really helped me out..!

  • Easy way to copy regions from 1 song to another?

    Hi,
    So - if I open up 2 songs at the same time on my PowerBook G4 laptop, and want to copy one region from 1 song to the other - and have the region paste EXACTLY where it was on the other song - how do I do that easily?
    So far - every time I click on one song, and then the other - ESX24 instruments for the songs take tons of time to RELOAD, every time I click back and forth from either song. Also, this is video/film score - so to paste exactly from one song to another - I don't know exactly how to do this.
    Any help? Thanks!

    It was a late night - so a confusing post makes sense... let me try again:
    I am using all MIDI regions - and only using the stock set of 'instruments' that ship with Logic 7.1 on the ESX 24.
    I have 2 versions of Cue 6. The director came over and likes certain things from version 1 and other things from version 2.
    So, I decided last night to take the first version and color all the regions green. Saved that. Then I did as iSchwartz said to do above - quit Logic... then booted it up again with 'controll' held down. Then opened up my new green version 1 and version 2. I then proceeded to copy each track in vers. 2, one at a time - and 'paste at original location' on my new song - or version 1. The SPL was not in any particular spot - as I ussumed from iSchwartz's post above that the command "paste at original location" does exactly that on a chosen track selected.
    I don't know how I can select all at once - in vers. 2 to move to vers. 1 - and then edit from there and create a new version. Moment to moment the director likes one thing from vers. 1 and another from vers. 2.
    I decided to SMPTE lock everything before copying also... and tempo is the same in both song files.
    Hope this is clearer... thanks!

  • Option dragging to copy regions

    I'm finding it really annoying that when I want to option drag a region to copy it, the dialog box that tells it's current location doesn't show up until I start to move the region. It would be helpful to know that before I start moving.

    This sounds like you have might have turned on one of the "accessibility' features of OS X..
    or...
    Did you install something else just prior to this problem occuring? It could well be the cause of the issue if you did so.....

  • How to copy region, without copying region based automation.

    Say I wanted to copy a region to another track, for instance the track below.  If the region that was going to be copied had region based automation, say modualtion or pan region based automation.  Is there a way to copy the region, but not the region automation on it?
    Cheers

    if the automation is MIDI data within the region, then no, you can't copy without the data. It is very easy to delete the info after moving it. Just select, for example, 1 instance of cc#1,Then "select similar" from the edit window, then delete. Repete as necesary for other controller types.

  • Copy regions and settings (plugins, mixing/volume/pan, etc) to new project

    Greetings,
    I am a brand new logic user and I am scoring my first film. I have two problems, one of which is addressed in the subject heading, and the other I will address now.
    I didn’t realize until today that my synchronization settings were set to 25fps and the movie I am scoring is set to 23.98. This was causing huge problems when I would send the editor a cue, and he could not sync it up. I have read many posts, and I know that once I change my fps to 24, then it should be able to sync up just fine with the 23.98fps. However, because I was running my first few cues at the wrong fps, I now have to start these cues all over at 24fps. I was on apple care support via phone, and the kind person told me to set up a new project as “music for video (ntsc).” He then told me to copy the regions from my old cue and drag them into the new arrange window. I have done this, and here comes the questions:
    1. After dragging the regions from the old file (where I was running at 25fps) to the current project (which is now set to 24fps), I could only copy the music- my volume, pan, and reverb plug-ins did not copy. How can I copy everything over so I don’t have to manually adjust my mixer and reverb settings? If you know the answer, please guide me through it...I am really new to Logic!
    2. Now that I have copied the music to current project (24fps), is there a metronome conversion so I can change the old speed of running at 25 fps to 24 fps or should everything sync up automatically? My metronome is set to 104.2000 in the old cue.
    I would appreciate any help I can get. Thank you.
    Best,

    Hi Adam,
    Since I don't work in film, I can't answer any of the SMPTE questions, but regarding question #1...
    Go to the audio configuration window of the original cue. Under the Audio Configuration windows edit menu, select "copy".
    Then open the new cue (the one set at 24fps), go to it's audio configuration window, and under the edit menu, select "paste".
    This should copy all plug-ins. volumes and pans. Only do this is all your audio instruments between the songs are the same, which I will assume they are, because the audio configurations "paste" function will replace everything in the current song. But based on your description, this is what you want to do.

  • X131e - weird browser tabs behaviour

    Hello all. Took delivery of an X131e a few days ago. OVer the past few days I have noticed an intermittent issue with the behaviour of tabs in both Explorer and the latest version of Firefox I installed. Essentially, what happens is that every time I click on a link it opens in a new browser window. This didn't happen to start with and it goes back to normal after I restart Windows. This 'fault' seems to start up randomly. It happens in both Explorer and Firefox (so does not appear to be a browser-specific setting).
    I am aware that some links are specifically set to open in a new tab/browser window by the page's designer, but this is every single link, even just Google search results. Select a link with left button above track pad and link opens in a new tab. Extremely frustrating. Restart computer, run exactly the same search and clicking the link works as it should. a day or two later and the tabbing thing has started again.
    Machine is running Windows 7 Home Premium. I don't shut it down when I have finished with it; I just close the lid.
    Can anybody suggest what might be causing it and how I might prevent it?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi there,
    From what I'm gathering, it's almost like you're clicking the link and even though you're not pressing Ctrl, a new tab opens like it would if you were holding that key, is that a correct assessment of the situation?
    If so, have you checked Sticky Keys in Control Panel?
