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

Mon Aug 19 23:13:34 EDT 2013

I'll take credit for that comment about sound forge, since I made it.

But if I were to ask Patrick, I bet he'd agree in large part 'smile'.

  Thanks for the reduced number of keystrokes, Scott.
  I wasn't dissing Kevin at any point, I just made the mistake of even 
  bothering to comment on anyone who hangs out in a Reaper forum hoping to 
  discourage Reaper users.
  I'm more than glad for Kevin's success, and glad Patrick loves Reaper 
  for audio more than even Sound Forge; and also glad for those who  love 
  Sonar and praise its undoubted merits.
  More power to all of us.
  We should all celebrate more choice; and not hope to reduce our choices 
  of daws, right?
