App get stuck scanning plugins and a few question. #309

Open jazi4 opened 2 months ago

jazi4 commented 2 months ago

How can you bypass/blacklist Plugins that cause the App to be stuck while scanning Also 1/ Is it possible to show the Plugins in Alphabetical Name order as it's difficult to find a plugin in a very large list. Do not see any way to search for a specfic plugin. 2/ Is it possible to make the Track number visible? 3/ Is it Possible to add a Midi Clock to get it to work in sync with other Apps?

Regards Jazi

How can you bypass/blacklist Plugins that cause the App to be stuck while scanning

You can't, but you can pick a custom folder to scan via the headline menu, if you only need to add some specific plugins.

1/ Is it possible to show the Plugins in Alphabetical Name order as it's difficult to find a plugin in a very large list. Do not see any way to search for a specific plugin.

Click on the plugins table headers to sort by name, type, or format. The list is unsorted after scanning though, which is probably misleading, I should fix that. Also there's no searching or filtering yet, will hopefully add that on the weekend.

2/ Is it possible to make the Track number visible?

Do you mean the channel number or the track name? Channel numbers aren't displayed anywhere other than menus to keep down visual noise. Track names are displayed in the pattern roll only for selected tracks; in the piano roll, the current track's name is displayed in the breadcrumbs.

3/ Is it Possible to add a Midi Clock to get it to work in sync with other Apps?

Clock synchronization isn't yet implemented, but it's high on my priority list, largely because it seems to be a requirement for building Helio as a plugin.

I've also tried to investigate the crash with Unify and the stacktrace showed an exception somewhere inside Unify, probably related to unsupported Windows version. Not sure what to do with it for right now.

Please check out the development build, the plugins list will now allow for searching, and sorting should be fixed.
