I just don't like staring at the "paste options" box wondering how long it is going to be.
I just pasted 6 second block of 116 channels and it took 4:02.
I am not complaining. I am just making a feature request.

This is a minor issue.....It does function, you can just go get a drink or get rid of the drink you just had
Should be done when you come back.... Edited by ChrisL1976 - 10 Nov 2008 at 4:05pm |

Thats small potatoes. Take a 64ch sequence and try adding W2E to all channels for the entire duration!
Hint: Come back in an hour or two.
Not that anyone (in their right mind) would do this, but it tends to put things into perspective.

Remember, Auora got a lot more complex with this last update. Essentially Aurora is compiling a lot more data than it used to, and that takes more processing time.

Well there is certainly some performance improvements we can make in there then, but not until 2009. Being mid-November, anything that isn't broken (as in show stopping unusable) doesn't get fixed until 2009, lest we accidentally break something more major in the process.

Depending on how may channels you were really copying, you may not be to far off. For the heck of it, I copied a 16 channels of my 21 leaping arches and tried to past it into a new controller. 5 minutes , 10 seconds That was a 2 minute song which 60% of the events being on those 16 channels. (8724 events, 1346 snap points.)
I will say some of the other complex copy and pastes I've done, 20-30 seconds of 5-10 channels normally take around 20-30 seconds to a minutes. |

Ok, ok. I may be exaggerating a little. ;) I am copying whole channels and groups of up to 4 channels. I am going from 16 chs. to 144 chs. and coping similar element channels makes for quick groundwork. For example I had 1 channel of icicles last year, this year I have 8. So I copied channel 1 to 2 & 3 & 4, then I copied chs. 1-4 to 5-8. Then I went back and deleted/added events where needed. I am sure it is not just my computer, at home I run a 2.2 Ghz Athlon X2 and at work I have the Q6600 C2D quad core both with 4 Gb ram. I'll put a timer on the next pasting.

5 minute paste... yikes! What are y'all copying and pasting??
I'll look into this for a future version as well as if there are any performance improvements which can be done in there. It only takes 5-10 seconds to open the whole file... shouldn't take 5 minutes to paste!

A cancel button would be great too. As I type, I am waiting on a 5 min paste that I put in the wrong spot!
