Initial global filter display is incorrect for add, sub and pad #388

Open pgervais opened 1 year ago

Step to reproduce the issue:

Launch

The filter display does not match the filter type shown in the 'general' card: Incorrect view

The display updates when a click happens in a non-widget part of the 'general' card. For example at the location of the cross in the above screenshot. The view then becomes correct, and switching the filter type correctly works. This is the correct view:

Correct view

The same behavior happens with the "sub" and pad > envelopes tabs.

I cannot replicate the issue as described.

After tinkering with the UI a bit more I realized that it's working as intended. What I missed is that what the graphical display shows depends on which panel (general / envelope / lfo) is active. Unfortunately there is no visual indication of that.

One option would be to have the panel's header highlighted, the same way "filter" or "global" are shown.

Having a visual hint there would be good IMO, though likely it should be more subtle than the filter/global highlighting to avoid distracting the user with an element in the center of the screen.

Perhaps just show a legend in the upper left hand corner of the display, like "ENVELOPE", "RESPONSE", "LFO" etc?

That's a possible solution, though adding the a slight highlight to the titlebars would create an added bonus of hinting that they're clickable which I've heard in the past is a UX issue with the current implementation.
