- Direct access plugin/insert parameter changing tool-tip added.
I'm not sure it makes a terrible sense to post this to LAD rather than
to LAU, but I'd just like to notice that I'm not extremely happy with
the current implementation of direct access for the following reasons:
1. Only one setting per plug-in is available, so I can't have control
over, say, attack and release in a compressor simultaneously.
the so called "direct access feature" does only affect one and only one
plugin parameter at a time, that being an implementation/design
limitation due to the fact that the provided slider widget is scalar and
1-dimensional by nature o.O
to tweak more than one parameter simultaneously, for what i'm curious on
how you actually could do just that with one 1-dimensional slider, i'll
assume you're asking for simultaneous access over the same display
space, then look at the generic plugin dialog (plugin/properties) or the
plugin own gui editor (plugin/edit), if any.
2. The widget is hard to aim (which is probably a trade-off with an
aim to make UI compact). Maybe some phat-like slider would do the
trick
true. however i have no interesting plan on that regard. maybe, if
someone steps up with a patch or sth... ;)
3. The step for mouse wheel scrolling is too large by default and
doesn't change to a more granular one with Alt/Shift modifier buttons.
true and the good news are it can be fixed sooner perhaps ;)
Re widgets, here is another idea:
http://www.darktable.org/2012/03/bauhaus-widgets/
I'm not totally sure about it yet, I've yet to compile that branch.
But just so you know... :)
too bad it looks like it's gtk2. i'm sure someone could rip it off as a
qt4 widget and drop it in without much brain-sweat, someone with a lot a
time to spare? ;)
don't take me wrong. i love the ideas
cheers
