I've been able now to launch the NON session-manager. - by writing an own simple build-script. ( is my system borked ? or just cmake ?)
I have to say, I'm counting me as a fan of J. Liles Software. Somehow I agree with his style, I would described as unbloated, but still pragmatic and effective. - - - In my opinion NSM is the best approach to session management so far and I'm encouraging every audio-app dev. to jump on this train ! It is non-intrusive, has the required functionality. - - - There some minor things, I'd like to see: - sessions should have an option to optionally restore window-position and -size of client apps too (would this work for workspaces as well, possibly xinerama ?) - tools as nsmd, jackpatch, osc_send should show a help message, when started from command line. - the session-manager should have an additional help button, showing a window describing the possible actions (how to duplicate a session, work with templates) - just like non-seq has a window for key-strokes. - in the session-man. there should be a hint where the data is stored. I'd like to always know where it is. Questions remaining: - where would audio apps store large (audio) files ? a custom path ? - appart from large files (audio), all configuration should go to the instances session folder - right ? - where is the integrated chat client ? ;) Possible Bugs - although jackpatch is loaded, some connections (jack-midi) are not restored here, switching from one to another session (while the jack-audio-connection is being done) - switching from one session with yoshimi to one without it closes yoshi however: switching from a session with two non-seq instances to a session with only one non-seq instance doesn't close the second instance Once this is bug-free, this session-manager is a real enrichment to the audio community ! There's almost a fun-factor using it. I'm going to spend my time switching sessions soon. :) Thanks to Jonathan. -- E.R. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list Linux-audio-dev@lists.linuxaudio.org http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
