Hello Everyone,

The configuration page for superTracks has been updated with new controls for managing track visibility. SuperTracks are containers that group a variety of track types, including composite tracks, and support two levels of hierarchy for complex nesting (e.g., superTrack > composite > subtrack).

Updated SuperTrack configuration
  page showing new Show/Hide container control, Apply visibility buttons, per-track
  Hide/Dense/Squish/Pack/Full visibility buttons, and folder icons for container tracks
  • Show or hide this container and all tracks - Hiding the entire container will preserve the track visibility settings, and they can be restored by selecting "Show".
  • Apply visibility - A new visibility control with two buttons:  sets the selected visibility on all non-hidden tracks, and  sets it on all tracks, including hidden ones.
  • Visibility buttons - Individual track visibility is now set using Hide/Dense/Squish/Pack/Full buttons instead of the previous dropdown menus. The grey button indicates each track's current visibility.
  • Folder icons - Container tracks (composites) are now indicated with a folder icon. Click the track name to see all subtracks.

These new controls allow users to quickly set visibility across multiple tracks. We welcome your feedback. Please contact our mailing list with any issues, suggestions, or feature requests.
