Input/Output

The Input/Output view: patching plugins to universes and configuring them.

Nothing on this page has been merged upstream yet.

Features and improvements

Configure button on every patch. (Fork #100) Each input and output patch whose plugin has settings now carries its own configure (tools) button, which opens that plugin's settings and nothing else. Plugin settings used to be reached from a single tools button in the side toolbars, which on a universe with more than one output couldn't target a particular output: it opened every output plugin's dialog one after another (see the fix below). The toolbar buttons are gone, so inputs and outputs now work the same way however many patches a universe has.

How to use it: in Input/Output, click the tools button at the right-hand end of the patch you want to change, such as an Art-Net output or a MIDI input. Only that plugin's settings window opens. Close it as usual and you're straight back to the patch view. Patches whose plugin has no settings don't show the button. The audio settings buttons in the toolbars are unchanged, since they open the audio panel rather than a plugin window.

Input and output patches in the Input/Output view, each with its own configure button

Clicking the configure button on each patch in turn: the Art-Net output, the DMX USB output and an Art-Net input, each opening only its own settings window

Bug fixes

  • Fixed the app appearing to hang after configuring the outputs of a universe patched to two different plugins, for example a DMX USB adapter and Art-Net. Closing the first plugin's window immediately opened the second one, which could end up hidden behind the main window while still blocking it, so nothing responded. Each window now opens only from its own patch's button. (Fork #100)
