Track View, Minimize All
This is such a frickin’ useless command. All it does is muck up the UI. Is there a way to (a) undo it (put each track back to its last height) or (b) disable the command? Thanks in advance.

Actually it’s a very valuable command that I use a lot to see an entire multi-track project at once. If you double-click the right scroll bar it will toggle between minimize mode and full mode. (so don’t ever do that if you don’t like this behavior)
Unfortunately it doesn’t remember the track heights when it restores them as you have seen. There is no way I know if to disable this other than to not use it in the first place.

As I have projects with parent-child tracks, tracks set to various heights (for specific reasons), some tracks minimized, some tracks just tall enough so I can see the track motion chevrons … Minimize All is just a STOOPID command unless there’s a way to undo it.
Just my two angry cents …

I assumes that you haven’t changed the track heights and I agree that this is a bad assumption. I actually use it for that purpose. I will make tracks taller as I work on them, specially audio tracks, and then I’m done I will toggle Maximize All to bring all of the tracks back to the same height since I only want them larger while I’m working on them. So it had a useful purpose. Does the Undo key fix it when you use it by accident?

You can run the View Minimize command again (uncheck) and it sort-of undo-es it. The problem is … tracks that were previously minimized (and I have a lot sometimes) are then opened. It doesn’t revert the UI back to its state before the command (which is what it should do).
