When current instrument is locked, clicking on an instrument in the mixer should still change current instrument #1412

  1. Start Radium
  2. Open instrument widget
  3. Click the "lock" icon in the upper left corner
  4. Click on a different instrument in the mixer
  5. Current instrument is not changed.

Also, after fixing this, the "lock" icon functionality should probably be enabled by default. It's usually annoying that the program changes current instrument for you. Perhaps current instrument should only change if clicking on it in the mixer, or manually changing current track in the editor (i.e. not when it's changing because we play a song and a new current track has a different instrument when playing a new block). Then we don't need the "lock" icon.

Oh, you mean the "New Pd instrument" entry, etc. Well, the menu was reorganized on purpose a while ago. I removed some entries I thought were too esoteric to be placed directly in that menu.

But you do raise a concern that the Pd And Faust features are becoming too hidden deep inside the program after that change. One strange way to make it more visible would be to add an "Esoteric features" menu to the manual, but perhaps there are other/better ways.

These are built-in synths/tools and it feels pretty strange when they are not listed in the popupmenu. Added them for my personal comfort :)
