Hi,
there was a feature request and a short discussion about plugin icons
this weekend on IRC. And I like the idea.
Many LV2 plugins have their own logos (Helm, Vital, Surge, Drops,
Wolfshaper, Geonkick, Dragonfly, ...). But they only use these logos
internally within the plugin. Hosts fully ignore these logos at this
moment. No surprise, there is no standard. OK, LMMS uses plugin icons.
But only for their own LMMS-specific factory plugins. In general logos
may provide a benefit for users to more easily find the plugin the user
looked for.
My first idea was: you can do everything with an extension. But this
would be misleading. It would be a technical overkill to provide a whole
C interface as falkTX responded. And showing an icon would require
plugin instantiation. Fully incompatible with listing plugins.
The most simple but also misleading way for a host would be to show an
icon file (.ico?, .xpm?, .png?, .svg?) found in the plugin directory.
But this would end up in rubbish in many cases. Think about textures or
dial images which are often stored in the plugin directory.
It would be nice to have a property like lv2:icon <logo.png> or
something like this. But what about to provide an icon in different
sizes / resolutions? Any ideas? Any (other) solutions?
And don't forget. It only makes sense if the hosts will provide this
feature. Host developers, what do you think about it?
Regards,
Sven
This made me reach for the screen cleaner :)

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
Hi all,
Further pre-release of SoundTracker 1.0.2 is ready. At this point I
announce feature-freeze; this means that mature 1.0.2 release will have
no new features compared with pre2, only possible bugfixes and
translation updates. So this pre-release has all facilities of ST-1.0.2
and I invite everyone to test it.
ST-1.0.2-pre2 can be downloaded here:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/soundtracker/files/latest/download
Any feedback is welcome in SoundTracker mailing list:
soundtracker-discuss(a)lists.sourceforge.net
What is new in soundtracker-1.0.2-pre2 (26-Feb-2021):
* Clavier look is improved (selectable font, better keys' shape)
* Some keybindings are added to the Sample editor
* When moving an envelope point, pressing CTRL restricts movement to
either vertical or horizontal direction
* Polyphonic try mode is improved: user can switch on/off same note
retrigging on different channels
* Rendering of the song / pattern / track /block into a sample is
implemented
* Volume / FX interpolation is improved: added the facility to
interpolate matching effects only
* Whole sample (data + parameters) copying / pasting is implemented
* Volumes of all samples can be adjusted (multiplied) by a given value
at once
* Added an option to paste a block without cursor movement
* PulseAudio output driver
* Compatibility with FastTracker II is improved
* Some fixes and small improvements
Dear all,
The list is now on moderation. It is clear at this point, that the topic
completely derailed.
In case you would like to continue the purpose of this list and discuss
actual development topics, you are of course free to do so.
To anyone still wanting to pursue down the road of allegations purely
based on conjecture, conspiracy theories, untenable diffamation and
personal attacks: do everyone a favor and unsubscribe. This behavior is
not welcomed here.
Best,
David

Hi
I'm currently working on a X11 based GUI generator/designer tool to make
LV2 GUI development a bit easier.
Current state is pre-alpha.
The tool is able to scan ttl files and create the needed control widgets
for a plugin, the widgets could be moved around, ordered in frames
and/or replaced by other control widgets (replace knob with slider etc.)
It's as well possible to just create a GUI without parsing a ttl, set
the controls, ranges, labels, etc.
It' inspired by Glade (which we heavily used in guitarix), but the
generated output file is a plain C file.
The resulting GUI could already be used (a small makefile will be
generated together with the gui definition C file so the GUI library
could be build)
Currently only libxputty (by a included wrapper file) is supported to
act as back-end library for the generated file, but that is just a
question of writing wrappers for other widget toolkits.
As mentioned above, this is pre-alpha, so no release jet, but the issue
tracker is open for comments and suggestions, as for bug reports.
If you like to give it a go, here it is:
