hi jeff, welcome to nova :)
> * scons doesn't seem to support --help to list optional arguments. Is > there something else? which version of scons are you running? i just figured out that --help is broken in the latest scons snapshot 0.97.0d2007something ... it used to work in 0.97, though ... maybe i should start bundling scons :/ > * Is there a way to specify the path to portaudio in the build? (Using > Ubuntu Gutsy I don't have the dev files for libportaudiocpp, and it > would have been nice to just put the library into trunk/libs for > compilation, or at least /usr/local...) the headers for portaudiocpp are provided by the portaudio19-dev package in both debian and ubuntu ... i thought about including portaudio into the nova repository, but haven't really been looking into it, yet ... > * In a simple two object patch with an oscillator to a dac I get > dropouts when I move around gui items.

Are position changes being sent to the back-end? that is odd ... the information of the position is passed to the engine, but with a low priority ... the container that is storing the data is using a reader-write-lock, but the lock is not acquired by the realtime thread ... which driver-backend are you using? > * Shouldn't the title of the project wiki get changed to Nova? yes ... it is just that i am not a web designer :) > * Maybe I'm blind and stupid...

(Are people > against the idea of having object palettes?) sorry ... not very well documented, yet ... the only two gui-objects that are currently available are gui.bang and gui.comment (you have to type that into the object box) you are talking about object palettes like in max, aren't you? i would appreciate having such a feature, but i wouldn't start coding it myself :) > * Is right-click on object for help and properties the expected > functionality? context menus for objects for help/properties would be nice to have, but don't exist at the moment ... the user interface does definitely require some improvements ... this is one of them ... > Can we not have path's that suck like PD? :-) what kind of paths? > I saw on the bug tracker that undo/redo is still to be done.

This sound fine to people? > Supporting undo/redo requires that each command be pushed onto the > stack, and that it contains an undo/redo method which can be called.

That also makes it easy to put actions into menus, onto > toolbars or palettes, assign hot-keys etc... it would be great if you would be interested in helping with that ... pyqt should provide the QUndoStack: http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/Docs/PyQt4/html/qundostack.html only very little of the object handling is actually implemented with qt actions, though ... basically only the menus and shortcuts if you say, all undoable operations should be implemented as actions, it would make sense to make a list of the operations that should be undoable and convert them to actions ... > I'll be using git-svn to manage my source for the project.

Tim, you ever think about moving to a distributed > versioning system? i just switched to git last weekend :) http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.audio.nova.devel/188 i would be really happy if you find some time to join the development of nova ... a few people have offered to work on features of the user interface now (mischan - numberbox, niklas - message box, phil - gui in general) ... personally i started to work on the dsp engine again ... (dsp context cleanups, resampling, ffts, multicore utilization) ... cheers, tim -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ: 96771783 http://tim.klingt.org Linux is like a wigwam: no windows, no gates, apache inside, stable.
