New in 2.3: Add hotcue colors post #83
Conversation
| In 2015, support for hotcue labels was added to mitigate this problem. | ||
| These can be arbitrary text that is shown on the waveforms. |

However, these were only shown on the scrolling waveforms, so you could not see them unless the track was close to that position. Also, it was cumbersome to edit labels because this was buried in the track Properties dialog that was only accessible from the library. Now they have been added to the overview waveforms:

You can edit them directly from the waveform by right clicking:

If you have long, descriptive labels on hotcues that are close together, Mixxx will elide the labels so they don't overlap:

You can still see the full label by hovering your mouse over an elided label. Mixxx will hide any other labels this would be drawn over so the text is legible:

Aren't you detailing this in the "Overview mouse interactions" post?

I don't think it makes much sense to have that as a separate post. It's so closely related to this topic.

IMHO it's not that closely related to hotcue colors and this post is already quite long. Especially when insert all the additional screenshots it is too much.
And an extra post means @ywwg has an extra opportunity to post something on social media. 😄

Is anyone going to care to read a post about "overview waveform interaction"? Who even knows what that means besides us? I think it makes more sense to discuss it here and in the intro/outro cue post.

It's just a working title... something like "Make the most of your Waveform overviews" or "Manage your Cues using the waveforms". That would spark my interest since it's not obvious how.

Let's also mention showing the times on mouse hover. |
|
@ferranpujolcamins @Swiftb0y let me know what you think and feel free to file a PR to my repo if you want to suggest any changes. |
|
Should we highlight the usability changes these features imply as well? Eg right clicking opens the cuemenupopup and deleting a hotcue takes an extra step? Even though I've been regularly installing master, I'm still getting pretty excited for 2.3 just by reading this post. 👍 |

You could add a preview screenshot of #2194 at the end here.

Ping. There are a handful of TODOs for this. |
