a bug with Profile & Playback?
« on: December 26, 2004, 05:50:59 PM »
or is it a feature i'm misunderstanding?

i've got a single track displayed.

everytime i click on that track when in 'Profile & Playback'  the elevation data of the track gets added (again) to the Profile Window, so after clicking on the track 4 times the screen looks like this:



maybe this is intentional, so in case there is more than one track visible one can add elevation data selectively to the profile.

if so, how can i clear the Profile Display? just closing the window doesn't do the trick.

in any case, great program! well worth the $40.

Sadly enough, this was intentional.  I did say "was" not "is".  We've fixed it to be more intuitive in the (about to be released) beta version.

I almost always use "right click on track -> profile" to get profiling rather than the profile tool.  

In future versions you'll be able to combine tracks like the current profile/merge tool foolishly does, but only by holding down "shift" with each click.

You can right click while in profile tool mode and do "clear all segments" to clear it.

Thanks for pointing this out.  It continues to drive home that we need to get a new version correcting this glaring problem.
