show connected devices on main gui

adcxyz commented 5 years ago

the main gui should show which devices are currently connected.

For midi and hid, we only need to check whether the device is present:

[\midi, \hid].collect { |prot|
    MKtl.all.select { |mk| 
        mk.desc.protocol == prot and: 
        { mk.hasDevice }
    }
};

For OSC, we can check which network we are in:

// macOS only:
unixCmdGetStdOut("(/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Versions/Current/Resources/airport -I | awk -F': ' '/ SSID/ {print $2}')")

or we check which of the possible OSC devices has already sent values.

Actually, Modality could provide an overview gui for MKtl.all which shows:

all loaded MKtls,
which ones have active devices,
button to try activating the device (if physically connected later)
disable/enable devices one by one
button to open or show gui for each MKtl
Ntmi can use enabled state to choose what to show on main gui

And further, NTMI could have a menu of known scripts for devices, and auto-load the ones for which the device is connected ...

steps taken toward this: Butz interfaces shows the prepared ones, and NTMI checks for connected known devices and could load their MKtl scripts if there...
