(48797133) LiveAPI scroll/zoom methods not working

Post by motorhorst » Fri Mar 15, 2013 10:37 pm

Live.Application.Application.View.scroll_view()
In Arranger-View the Locator-Marker runs out of view without scrolling when scrolling horizontally. When you use left/right arrow-keys, everything works as expected. When scrolling vertically, Live goes through the tracks and even runs out of view without scrolling the vertical scrollbar. When using the arrow-keys on keyboard, the behaviour is the same.

In Clip-View this method doesn't work at all, although the m4l api reference manual says it should. - nothing happens.
used python syntax: self.application().view.scroll_view(nav.right, 'Detail/Clip', false)
When using arrow-keys, horizontal scrolling works as expected.

Live.Application.Application.View.zoom_view()
In Arranger-View, horizontal zooming works. When zooming vertically to enlarge the visible area of the selected track, automation curves and clipinfo will be displayed incorrect. It seems that this area isn't re-rendered.

In Clip-View this method doesn't work at all, although the m4l api reference manual says it should. - nothing happens.
python syntax: self.application().view.zoom_view(nav.right, 'Detail/Clip', false).
Horizontal zooming only works with +/- keys on Keyboard, vertical zooming not at all.

Cheers

also not working when accessing the api through m4l rather than python.

posted this up on the live 9 beta forum as a bug over 3 months ago... no reply at all... in fact no reply on any of the bug reports i wrote about live 9 api.

maybe now the release it out we'll see some work on fixing these issues and adding some of the features requested for the api. specifically m4l access to the api which seems limited in certain ways the python access isn't, browser etc.

Yep, scroll/view has never worked correctly in L8 either (except the horizontal zoom).

Hi,

This is tracked and is also verified problem for Live 8.

Thanks for reporting!

Tracked for a hopeful solution!

The Live.API tools have a set of code that doesn't work as well on this subject...
