Hi guys,

Today a few of us met to talk over some of the issues we're facing as we
gear up to begin closing out our current release cycle. One of our
focuses was on the MIDI preferences dialog panes, which we're currently
redesigning. The main points from the meeting were:
- We want a single pane.
- There are some UI feedback and visual persistence issues with the
current two-pane MIDI prefs, and this was also an issue with the mockup
Garth did.
- We spent a fair amount of time trying to figure out a user friendly
design by critiquing both the old panes and Garth's mockup.
- We agreed that something like the mockup I've attached will be a big
improvement (in terms of usability and user experience), and should
address the issues we had with the old panes.
- Essentially, each connected MIDI device will show up in the tree on
the left, and when you select them, a different pane for each MIDI
device will appear.
- This is design should work with our crappy MidiObject-based code, but
should also integrate nicely into future device-oriented code which
supports multiple MIDI devices.

Thanks,
Albert
