Feature Request: Run carla-single plugins in tray. #1582

Open patlach42 opened 2 years ago

patlach42 commented 2 years ago

I'm really like Carla host and use it all time. So, i want feature to run carla plugins in tray. At now i do it like this

CARLA_CLIENT_NAME=realphones kdocker -r -q -t -i /home/ft/Documents/Carla/dSONIQ.png carla-patchbay ~/Documents/Carla/Realphones.carxp

But KDocker is a hacky tool, and want use carla without it. For me will be awesome if carla can have abillity to run single plugin in tray with customizable icon and title, and with some context menu options like On/Off plugin, Bypass, and select presets.

So, i started my fork of Chibi from your repo and start adding of needed functional. have some rest from commercial python/js =)

So, if anyone intrested.

https://github.com/patlach42/Sunako

use like ./Sunako -m -i

of course at first you need to build with qmake && make

Cool. Though please note that Chibi is still quite experimental. I have been talking with @alex-tee about replacing Qt with Gtk, mainly because Carla with Qt is already well tested, but not with Gtk (which his own program, zrythm uses) I dont mind either way, would even go without a toolkit perhaps. Just be aware, experimental project is experimental :)

That would be awesome for Windows users also. A very useful feature.
