Hi,
nice work. I just tested it on windows xp sp3, and it works. At some other point I can test it on w7, and ubuntu.
Some remarks, though, in case it interests you - or shold they be sent to someone else?
- when patching, I could open/close an object to text edit it by using ctrl-return. This doesn't work here anymore. Was it replaced by another key combination?
- which font are you using? it looks a bit strange
- alt-f doesn't work to access the file menu. it would also be clearer if the shortcut keys (F, E, ...) would be underlined, as usual in windows menus
- I guess autopatching is always on? didn't find a switch for it
- what does the "tidy up" command do, besides putting a comment in the console? would it be better to remove it?
- it might be a bit strange to have the same preferences menu in the media and file menus. And then another preferences menu in Edit. I don't know anything of menu design, but why not:
- add the path and startup sections to the preferences window
- access this window only through one menu? I guess in Media would be the most traditional place, but many programs have it in Edit.
- the GUI profile is a very nice idea, I've been doing it for years with Hans' commands. If you want, adding font+size would make it complete.
- are there any patches you would need to test specific parts of your work? I might be able to help with that, since I can't program C or tcl/tk
On startup I get the console output:
midiin: windows: not supported
sysexin: windows: not supported
