Nationalsolo Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Hi NCH Can anyone explain why a "mouse-over" Play button has been incorporated into the preview window when a perfectly adequate Play control is present beneath the window?

c_major Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Hi Nat, Is there any case that the button is getting in the way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyRustle Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Reason is mainly that for at least a few versions, we added the ability to play the preview by clicking on it. But there was no indication to the user that this was possible, so most people wouldn't even try it. We added the overlay to make it more obvious. Too heavy handed?

Nationalsolo Posted February 16, 2019 Author Share Posted February 16, 2019 Hi Well, not heavy handed exactly, just superfluous perhaps. I found it a bit distracting as it flickers in and out if the mouse strays across that area for any reason when there is no intention of playing the clip/sequence. e.g moving up to the top toolbar . Of course it's more visible in the enlarged undocked preview window. To be fair I can see some use if the routine Play buttons are obscured by another window like the effects pane but otherwise it's an extra that might become irritating. One can click the button just as easily as the screen. What do other users think? "Reason is mainly that for at least a few versions, we added the ability to play the preview by clicking on it." Never noticed this so obviously never thought it might be useful. Nat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
