v4.74pre1 - October 1 2014

Last pre - 3 changes. This pre - 13. Me like :D

Nice to see a pre that is really zeroing in on a few of those pesky bugs. Very reassuring.

The i386 version crashes on loading on OSX 10.6.8 (see attached log). The x86_64 version runs fine, and both the i386 and x86_64 versions run fine on OSX 10.9.5.

Something "ripply" that would be super useful is if editing item edges also caused a ripple edit "slide" of the items adjacent to it (like the below vid shows.) This would complete ripple editing for me and make it very powerful for day to day editing. Adding to this. The ability to have a mouse modifier that allows you to change where an item starts (moving audio inside it at the same time) but not change the item's end point. I get this situation a lot more than you'd think ;)

Excellent improvements to ripple one! One lil bug - pasting items before a locked item moves the position of the locked item. Apart from that, locked item stays locked - Yay! The "ripple all" behaviour is sure to be a question of taste. For some people the fact that a locked item on any track means that nothing will ripple after that point on any track will feel correct, for others it will be "why doesn't everything else just ripple as usual and leave locked items where they are?". Maybe a ripple pref needed for those who wish to keep all unlocked items rippling around locked ones in "ripple all" mode. As for musicbynumbers point about edges causing ripple - for right-edge yes it really would be expected that changing the end item boundary would ripple subsequent items. As for the left, though, it's not definite to me that dragging or using "shrink/grow left edge" actions would ripple the start position of that item itself since ripple always means subsequent items and not changing the start of the item itself.

In fact, after looking at ripple editing again. If both start and end edge adjustments also "slid" the items next to them along too, this would be amazing. (rather than just the end as suggested before) That would allow us to edit audio in the way video programs do. We are close but "no cigar" just yet ;)

Take Envelopes Bug Draw a time selection and start trimming a bit: the envelope will move by itself up or down.
