Hi Tom,
nice work!
I tested your plugins with Visecas (i. e. Ecasound) and I just wanted to
let you know that the way you set the MODE port_name for your TAP
Reverberator (as long as _SHOW_PRESET_NAMES_IN_GUI_ is defined) confuses
Ecasound's map-ladspa-list. (Without the #define there was no problem)
Yes, actually i was sure that the way i get the presets list displayed is
anything but not legal :)) But i didn't find any better way by looking at
ladspa.h (and the whole ladspa sdk), so this was the best i could think
of at the moment...
I had a look at ladspa.h and it doesn't say anything about newlines in
port names so I must suppose it is 'officially correct'.
Nevertheless I'd guess that there are other LADSPA hosts which
implicitly assume that port names do not contain newlines (maybe I'm
wrong here, though).
Which leads to a for more interesting question:
Is this the way to deal with LADSPA presets?
Certainly no... i have to apologise, because there certainly has to be a
better way than this that i don't know of at the moment.
Sorry for that, i know it's wrong and i'm seeking for solutions.
Tom
