Subject: Re: Another question about selecting tracks

Yep,

You should consider the following:
If you've hidden all tracks and have shown new tracks which happen to not 
coincide with the previously shown and selected tracks, you will not have any 
track insertion within the Edit window. Therefore, Command-a will not select 
tracks because there's no insertion point within the timeline. In other words, 
Command-a will not select anything in the timeline and thus none of the newly 
shown tracks will be selected. Only the previously selected tracks will remain 
selected but not shown. The solution is to either scrub shuttle or fast forward 
or rewind (providing you have insertion follows scrub/shuttle selected) and an 
insertion point will automatically be created within the topmost track. You 
only need to scrub or shuttle momentarily and the insertion is immediately 
created. Now, pressing Command-a will select all of the shown tracks in 
addition to the entire range of the currently displayed timeline and its 
resident regions.

Hope that helps,

Slau
