[RWP] dragging items to new actions list when creating a newaction.

[Chris Belle]

Thank you scot,
you were more polite about it than I was, but I'm glad you put that guy in his place and also told us a better way to do things.

YOu know what, I want to straighten out one more thing while we're at it, Indigo's publically accused me of being scared that I won't have any sonar students,
well, let me set the record straight, you were once considering sonar, and once one of my students, and I don't think there's anything wrong with choosing reaper over sonar if it works better for you.

As a matter of fact, I plan to teach reaper too at some point,
I have taken the time to learn it to some degree of skill, and am using it for it's best features too.

And comparing the two products in no way in my thinking is bringing down one product,
I have praised reapers fine way of doing audio,
and even the snowman has made comments about how sonar or jaws does something better, or not, this is all about discovery, and anyone who can't stand lively discussion about a product and even in comparison with other products needs to go someplace else.

This should not generate sneaky nasty underhanded comments.

And I plan to call him on it every time he does it.

Why is it I can discuss this kind of thing with anybody, you, Patrick, Jim, and there is no ugliness, well, maybe somebody needs to do some deep soul searching and define what they're motives really are.

  One potential solution for Kevin and two quick points for Indie:

  1. Kevin, if you don't get a workflow down to chain actions, it'd be
  worth looking into whether you can have record monitor enabled as part
  of the settings for your default project.
  2. Indie, those 5 keystrokes could potentially come down to two. Hit
  F7 to arm, F8 to turn on record monitor. Job done.
  3. Wrong time to have that particular rant, considering that Kevin's
  music is easily some of the highest standard stuff to emerge from the
  merry dance we have to do between DAWs. Maybe you weren't aware when
  you wrote it, but now you are.
