I've been using the gtk interface to snd for some time now and to be honest, I don't really see any issues with it in regards to memory consumption. Most of the time I find it sits at fairly comfortable levels, and after all is said and done any soundfile editor is going to require a reasonable amount of memory to run efficiently anyhow - regardless of what gui toolkit you use.
Those "button box" dialogs are a bit quirky though, still not sure if I'm keen on those ;) cheers, James On Thu, Jun 19, 2008 at 10:21 AM, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > hello list, > > i haven't seen much discussion about the GUI of Snd around here .. > > personaly i quite like some acpects of motif but some of it is really > lagging ;( > > i have tried the gtk version, that looks quite pretty (despite i was > always concerned about the memory usage, and opted motif assuming it > takes less memory cause it's old). > ot be honest at first snd-gtk did look kindda redicuous to me at first > but now i see why it is like that i do really appreciate this way; > alternative to the typical gnome/gtk apps design, e.g. the file open > dialogue doesn't have the normal icons ..i acually see now that it's > really better without those ;) to me those files look more like tapes on > shelves that way ;\) brilliant! > > the only thing i did get dissapointed about ..well, after using motif > gui for a while > that there is no way of resizing the channel pannes .. > it's proly realy fine with a big monitor and just one or two channels, > but i do work with four and six channel files quite regulary and my > monitor is just 15 inch .. > > in fact what made me go for gtk gui was this error: > :(dlopen "/opt/audio/lib64/xm.so") > "/opt/audio/lib64/xm.so: undefined symbol: _XmStrings22" > > i had upgraded openmotif and snd as well and that error came up, > but just now i found that there is an extra package in gentoo portage > "x11-libs/openmotif-compat Legacy Open Motif libraries for old binaries" > so i had just installed that and the _XmStrings22 probem vanished :)) > > it's a shame that gtk does take up too much memory, i have tested it > with the same file and with gtk interface it had a lot more > [under|over]run's detected .. > > gtk does look a lot brighter but memory is a massive issue. > > > are most of the people using gtk or motif Snd? > > > happy editing! > -- > cheers, > ilya .ะด > > _______________________________________________ > Cmdist mailing list > [email protected] > http://ccrma-mail.stanford.edu/mailman/listinfo/cmdist > _______________________________________________ Cmdist mailing list [email protected] http://ccrma-mail.stanford.edu/mailman/listinfo/cmdist
