Pro Tools 8.03 was released recently, and we wanted to do a roundup of some of the cool new features (that are not bug fixes)
- The obvious big news about 8.03 is Mac OS 10.6 and Windows 7 Support, but there are a couple other cool new things Digidesign added.

If you liked cleaning your edit window you’ll LOVE ruling your rulers!
Rulers Rule!
Option+Click a ruler name: Clears the ruler clicked.

Control+Click on a ruler name: Turns the grid view on and off.
Command+Click on a ruler name: Changes your main counter, grid, and nudge to that timebase. (where applicable)
edit: had a few extraneous “commands” in there
