menu changes and color options

[shimoda]

Few things:

1 - menu style that allowed scrollable menus. This way more options could be accessed on a limited screen more easily, e.g. in containers.
2 - ability to change the background color of objects. In multisliders this could make it easier to emulate drawbars that pull down instead of up
3 - ability to change the color of the background of things like text, interfaces, containers, etc.
4 - I know it's been mentioned but some sort of image loading support.
5 - Ability to make objects inactive for the user (e.g. make a breakpoint inactive to use only as a monitor). (I just figured out that by using another object to control the device but using hold parameters I can lock the breakpoints to touch movement, but those darn grid lines then are visible.)

WOULD BE GREAT: some function to tell whether a touch is being applied so things could be run on finger up (scripts

+1 on items 1 through 4.
#5 Sounds reasonable to have a monitor only option.
I am not good at programming breakpoint objects yet but my guess here though is that if you refresh your breakpoint parameter for monitor use every frame that users won't be able to move it far and/or it will snap back.

can't you just untick the object in the editor to make it inactive?

[analog604]

Hi Phil! The breakpoint controls can still be moved around the screen even if the object and x/y ure unticked.

[Phil999]

ah yes that's true.

Would also like to have the MidiMapping window be able to stay open while editing midi stuff so I can keep track instead of opening and closing, poor workflow.

[shimoda]

would like to be able to set custom midi easier, eg. in the main panel, be able to set a variable for the controller and channel as you can in custom midi.

it would be great to have variable target mapping so one template could have output switched on the fly to a different target computer.

Check out what can be done through 'Parents' structuring, which is more dynamic then straight static settings

Will do that. Was looking in the manual last night. This might mean restructuring of some of the templates I've already made. Sometimes I think a text approach to certain aspects of the template building process would be easier. It would be nice, for instance, to be able to control select items in the browser panel for copying, etc.
