dewdrop question: no. channels per row on mixing board

[Peter O'Doherty-2]

Hi James,

Where can I set the value which controls the max number of mixer channels per row on the mixing board? It seems to automatically make a new row after 6 channels.

Thanks,

Peter

Check MixingBoard.defaultSkin.maxAcross -- normally this should be "inf" though, meaning it should make as many mixers as it can fit horizontally on screen.

What does MixingBoard.defaultSkin.maxSize report? Maybe it's picking up the wrong screen bounds.

In my environment,

MixingBoard.defaultSkin.maxAcross == inf

MixingBoard.defaultSkin.maxSize == Point(1280, 1024)

Sorry about that. I though I did.

MixingBoard.defaultSkin.maxAcross == inf

Here too.

MixingBoard.defaultSkin.maxSize == Point(1280, 1024)

I get Point(640, 480)

How do I change it?

I don't know if this is relevant but perhaps I should have told you that I'm running linux on a laptop (using SwingOSC). 

Thanks,

Peter

You can put a new Point in there by hand.

MixingBoard.defaultSkin.maxSize = Point(desiredWidth, desiredHeight);

But the Point's coordinates should be set automatically based on the
screen bounds as reported by SwingOSC.

So there's a timing issue... the mixing board skin is asking for the
screen bounds before SwingOSC knows what they are. I'll put a fix in
svn today or tomorrow.

In the meantime, put this into your startup file:

SwingOSC.default.waitForBoot({
        { MixingBoard.defaultSkin.maxSize =
GUI.window.screenBounds.rightBottom }.defer(1.0)
});

With this, it will give SwingOSC time to start up, check screenbounds,
and only then set the mixer skin parameters.

Thanks a lot. That fix is working nicely.

Just FYI, the issue is properly fixed in quarks svn now. After an
update, you should not need the startup file hack anymore.

Great, thanks.

Slightly related question: do you know how to open SC in emacs full-screen mode and still be able to get SwingOSC windows to be "always on front"?

Thanks,

Peter
