Heeh,
I guess the first step to thinking better is to realised that computer
applications are not female in nature.
From my experience, I've found that relating to girls like I do
computer programs doesn't work very well! I've found (and still do) that
girls don't like to be treated in an object-orientated fashion! There
is no class that can define them!
:)
You're right, labels are fixed in drag and drop mode. I don't actually
use drag-and-drop mode myself and didn't notice it.
Someone may fix it so that labels move with drag-and-drop, but at the
moment, I don't know what other developers would be doing..

G'day Pierre!
I'm very selfish.
I confess my first aim is to think like Cinelerra, to make it more
likely that I get from her what I ask.
My second aim is to make Cinelerra think like me, to better shape the
software I use.
My third aim is more of a dream: to think like you!
You see inside the depth of Cinelerra, I don't. I see the surface only.
>From up here I see labels fixed at time positions or labels following an
edit in cut-and-paste editing mode (they really look to me as non fixed
at time positions).
In drag-and-drop mode labels seems fixed again to time positions. They
never follow an edit, even with the "edit labels" option on.
Looking down from my soft armchair I see hard working Cinelerra
developers using a magic trick to make labels following edits in one
editing mode but not in the other.
That's all my understanding can do.
Feel free to code up relationships if you like ;)
Give me 20 years and I will! :-)
Thanks for all your thinking, Pierre!
Have a nice day down under!
Ciao

Hi Raffaella,
Yes all those are very good ideas, and we likely share the same thinking
but it takes time / work to implement those ideas. Indeed labels should
be tied to something but they are not. The labels are decoupled from
anything whatsoever except time positions. In the default mode,
(unlocked) if you paste / cut / insert silence before labels, regardless
of weather you have any tracks enabled or not, the labels will move by
the cut / paste amount accordingly. If the labels are locked then cut /
paste operations don't move the labels.
Feel free to code up relationships if you like ;)
