Talk:Sync-Locked Track Groups

Peter 27Feb13: From working on this page I have developed an understanding that we have an entity in Audacity called a Track Group.

AFAICT the only thing thing you can do with a Track Group is to Sync-Lock it. This enables certain editing operations (those that change length or time position) to operate on the Group as whole, even if not all tracks in that Group are currently selected.

This leads me to the question: should we consider extending the utility of a Track Group by enabling all effects etc. to operate on a track group as a whole if Synch-Locking is on for that Group. Or would we need to extend the idea by introducing "Group Locking" in addition to Sync-Locking?

Would this increase the usefuness of the Track Group, or is this a silly idea?

My inclination is not to pursue this as the Track Group concept is a pretty difficult one to grasp - as I found out :-))

But having had the "thought" I'll place it here to archive it in case anybody thinks it has merit worth pursuing.
