Don't take my wording too literal smile It's just another way of saying "replaced with" which is bad for those that don't like it.

As well as I don't agree with some other strange & unsupported comments you made.
What have I said that' strange and unsupported?

2024 given "us" lightning speed regenerations, non modal windows, excellent MTP Library, where most of BIAB content is easily accessible all in one place, great set of RT's and other content and a few other bells and whistles, including VST3 support that is coming later this year and will be free to those who upgraded.

I've not said it's all bad. I'm just picking out things that I personally think are bad. It has moved forward in some areas, and back in too many others.
This is all about workflow. We don't all work the same way. If I think something is a bad idea and you don't, then sure that could cause split opinions. However, most of what I argue about are things that could easily be implemented or simply put back as they were without having any negative impact on your workflow, while at the same time improving mine.

Of course there are minor issues with MTP and it is perfectly fine to discuss and offer suggestions, and of course report bugs, but these little "this and that" things are NOTHING compared to old modal pickers problems. I feel sorry for those who fail to see big picture.

Nothing to do with the bigger picture. If the new implementations slow me down then the advantages might get outweighed by the disadvantages - according to my own way of working. Nobody is right or wrong, we just do things differently. If I look at the way you do things I'd probably think you have far too much patience on your hands - but that's your way of doing things and that's fine.
I wouldn't argue necessarily about features or improvements that I want if it was going to affect the majority of users and the way they like to work. Most of what I complain about are things that would simply make it better for people that work similar to me, and have no impact on anyone else - at least not that I can predict - sure I could be wrong.

P.S. MTP library can be easily closed and recalled with shortcut or a dedicated button on upper right tabbed menu of GUI. What is the big deal here?

The bid deal is speed and unnecessary annoyance. The mouse is always in my hand when I'm looking for styles and realtracks. Click between screens and I'm done. Shortcuts? I have enough to remember already, BIAB isn't the only software I use. If I'm going to need to regularly open and close the multipicker with a shortcut, then it offers no real advantage over the older pickers.

We should all respect that not everybody works the same - and in my case, I'm very impatient and like to get things done with as least aggravation as possible - which becomes especially annoying when a very easy solution could be had to please us all.
