This will no doubt lead to some confusion. Is there a recommended way of handling the session save/quit operation in app? Or should we all just leave that to the SM app and just add support for receiving the notification in app? >> slider 1 = channel 1, slider 2 = channel 2 etc... >> >> When save session/quit session are pressed the app saves the position of >> the sliders to a file on disk and loads it again when started if it exists. >> >> As a simple app it won't really do anything useful apart from demo how >> to work with the code so I would like to get some feedback from other >> users on what would actually be a useful demo of the code in action. >> >> I'm thinking along the lines of the demos apple released for the iphone >> which while being mostly fairly unnecessary are also still perfectly >> functional apps in their own right. >> >> If I can remove widgets or add only a couple more that would be preferable. >> > i dont really see the relation to jack session. > only 10% of such an app would be jack session related. > i dont really think would be a good demo of jack-session. > > but maybe i am wrong. > i tend to think that patches which add session support are better > examples. > > this is the patch for seq24: > http://trac.jackaudio.org/attachment/wiki/WalkThrough/User/jack_session/jack-session.patch > > > That's not a bad idea. If we get a few different apps with different languages and UI kits to contribute patches and version numbers of the working app we would have a very useful resource and saves having to write a new app just for demo purposes. I will contribute a patch for jackEQ which is c+gtk2 in the next few days. Cheers. .
