Those should have been the two options...

Not a big deal but it is odd to me that they would remove it and not replace the dead space with a new feature. Why not just have the edit button in both places?

Bring it back, sing it back...

I really liked this edit button and have used it a lot.

the argument is that the edit button is now part of the file manager system that is new in Live 6,

But the edit button is still there, in the manager.

When we were beta testing the idea of having a "manager" button instead to bring up the file manager instead of right clicking and selecting manager in the waveform.

The problem is that because the manager is a global thing and would bring up all of the waveforms used, it is not a good idea to have this button in each clip.

Therefore the space stays.

I say, instead of bringing he edit button back, can we have a shortcut to the edit button of that clip called something like "EDIT" instead?

This will really help with going through all of the drop down lists etc etc just to edit a sample.

Although one click is faster, it only takes two clicks now. I am not sure this is a huge deal.

Is there something I am missing - why is it so much harder to click twice? And as far as time, does it really take that much more time to click twice (especially considering it highlights the sample within the list after right clicking "Manage Sample File")?

Anyway, I agree that they really should have never taken it out if there were no issues with it (I am not sure why it wasn't possible to leave the edit button alone plus add the additional functionality).

And - if this is the worst problem with this release, that's great. (Good to hear there are not bigger issues.)

I am a fan of the old button placement - no real big deal, but why make it harder???

yes there is something missing., The button. This just adds to the overall clickyness of the software distracting the user from making music. The original method worked perfect whcy change it.

EDIT button - VOTE!

Do you wish to see the sample EDIT button returned in Live 6.0.2?

yeah bring it back
