Re: [LAD] [ANN] Qtractor 0.4.7 - The Furious Desertrix is out!

Rui -- Once again thanks for all your recent updates. I tried out two "competitors" recent releases and a beta with midi enhancements. Yours wins by far with the quickest first-launch to sound output, such as when I was testing it out with zynaddsubfx and fluidsynth dssi plugins on a new meego netbook install. In the competitors, stunning and full-featured as they are, I felt a sense of accomplishment after navigating through umpteen layers of byzantine menus and dialogs just to get the DAW midi inputs to light up when i played a keyboard. And then I was all "screw this... back to qtractor...." There was no obvious way to launch any of the myriad LV2 or DSSI plugins I've installed and get sound output for a midi track -- not like the old "click and go" in qtractor. However, with popularity comes stupid questions, so here goes: (1) Any hints on customizing qtractor qt/X/etc for use on a smaller screen (1024x600 10.1" display) : see http://lists.linuxaudio.org/pipermail/linux-audio-user/2010-September/07303… or excerpt below.

(2) I 've got subversion installs of all your progs, so I usually make the day of your announcement a good day to try a new svn up & compile. (btw, r1687 builds and runs beautifully). Recently in compiling one of your progs (qmidinet) I found out the hard way that I needed to do "make clean ; autoreconf -i -f ; ./configure ; make" in order to see the updated "about" page in the resources, even after previously updating, cleaning and recompiling from subversion. Is there a better way of doing this, or is there some automatic (make) way that a subversion revision update could automatically trigger updating the configuration if needed. Of course, it might all be there already, as I really haven't been using Qt for very long....
