pinging @falkTX and @tresf for discussion.
Currently on Mac, a similar problem exists, but we search in a nearby location for Carla (e.g. ..\Carla Patchbay.app
).
Currently Windows doesn't use a standard install location, so this is a good proposal but I would ask that it's extended to work for other OSs as well.

This is more of an LMMS task, so no need to ping the Carla author I don't think. 😅

Oops mb.

I thought the issue was specific to windows

So this would be added to mac as well. Am i correct?

Yes. Specifically, if we can find a way to get it working for All OSs, that would be best. Currently Carla supports the following OSs:
... So I would say if WANT_CARLA
is enabled, this feature should be on. Our existing logic of searching for Carla in ../Applications
and $PATH
should be safe to keep as a fallback.
Carla can work on any POSIX based system, that includes BSD, HaikuOS, GNU Hurd and even web assembly via emscripten. The GUI needs PyQt for now, but backend is quite flexible
Enhancement Summary
It would be a good idea to search for carla in a user defined settings (either via gui or the
lmmsrc.xml
file) in windows.Justification
Currently, LMMS uses the
PATH
environment variable to search for carla. Using PATH is unintuitive for new users looking to use carla with lmms on windows and also got some minor technical issues.I'm talking about adding carla path as an entry here.
