Feature Request: Add panel to MIDI Objects dialogue #1740

Open ahall41 opened 7 months ago

ahall41 commented 7 months ago

When using the MIDI Objects dialogue to set a control, there are numerous items with the same name (e.g. Button). Is it possible to add the panel, or some other identifier, to ascertain exactly what each Button (etc.) is doing?

@ahall41 This dialog contains a table with two columns: Type and Element.

Button is the control type. The actual name of the button is in the second column. So I don't see what can I enchance with this panel.

The problem in particular is that for setter buttons (etc.) there are several with the same name, and therefore label, which make it difficult to find a particular one. Would it be possible to amend the internal name? Or maybe follow the object up the tree to find a suitable parent?

In the Initial Midi panel, there is a column that indicates whether a Midi event has been set. This might be useful to add (maybe 3 columns - there's loads of room - to indicate that a Midi Recv, Midi Send and Keyboard shortcut has been set.

BTW on the demo organ the 6 preset generals show up as 'General 1' - perhaps they should be changed to 1 to 6 to match?

The problem in particular is that for setter buttons (etc.) there are several with the same name, and therefore label, which make it difficult to find a particular one.

Now the midi object dialog contains the following table:

||Type||Element|| |Button|Previous| |Button|Next| |Button|Set| |Button|-1| |Button|-10| |Button|-100| |Button|+1| |Button|+10| |Button|+100|

etc.

So all setter buttons have differnt names like Previous, Next, Set, -1, -10, -100, +1, +10, +100.

There are no setter buttons with the same name.

For divisionals you can have several sets of 1-10, (as well as 1-10 in the generals). And +1, +10, -1, -10 for Master Controls/Metronome etc. In the .cmb file they all have unique identifiers - maybe this could be propagated? Its only a suggestion, after someone commented in a post that they couldn't find a particular control.
