| Summary | 0001579: Options->Surfaces->surfacename and "controls" | ||||
| Description | to me it would make more sense for the surfaces menu instead of looking like this: Remote id assigned by user Remote id follows order of mixer Remote id follows order of editor Mackie Controls Tranzport Controls Alphatrack Controls -- to look more like this with submenus Mackie -> [checkbox] Enable [checkbox] Feedback [checkbox] Snap-to slave [checkbox] Follow selected track Tranzport-> same as above Etc. The first two changes are merely changing how the menu is created in build_control_surface_menu. (as I envision a dozen or more additions to the surfaces support, the menu gets kind of long otherwise. Also, "controls" where it is is confusing. The 2nd two ideas are extensions to the control protocol that seem to have fallen out of actually working with the mackie and alphatrack. The first extension is the idea that a shuttle wheel COULD be set to follow the default snap-to increment and be a far more useful thing. The second extension, is if you have a device with a limited number of faders (like - 1), enabling "follow selected track would tell the device to select that track when the user selects that track, making integration of mouse and surface editing more intuitive. Last idea: as it is possible that someone will have multiple devices the probe routine could report back multiples of each surface and the menu show: "Tranzport 0000001 Tranzport #2 etc some sort of unique number would have to also be associated with the device (in the case of usb, the manufacturer id + the serial number would suffice) and have to be mapped to it on some consistent basis. | ||||
