Cubic it’s you right and choice to do as you please im only trying to raise the point that these problems have been mentioned time and time again . The vmx files as you quite rightly stated were re-implemented as you say but that was because of lots of complaints from lots of different users and not just a few complaining over and over.
As we said earlier we all want individual things and Steinberg has the hard job of implementing for the masses … anyway it’s Saturday night ,clock go back tomorrow , don’t forget about the rescan and I hope you get what your asking for but IMHO cubase is better than ever .
good luck on your quest
