Re: [LAU] Snd learning curve

Especially things like this: snd-error: gtk-popup.scm needs the xg module (either 'make xg' or build Snd with --with-static-xg): /home/zettberlin/xg.so: Kann die Shared-Object-Datei nicht öffnen: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden "gtk-popup.scm"[14]: (if (string? hxm) (snd-error (format #f "gtk-popup.scm needs the xg module (either 'make xg' or build Snd with --with-static-xg): ~A" hxm)) (dlinit hxm "Init_libxg")) I would consider it a major improvement, if such dialogues would not pop up in a general distribution of Snd. If a program offers me the opportunity to switch a feature on and if I do it informs me of a missing module, then I consider this a bug in the way the program is distributed. And even though I have used Ardour for 50+-track-productions for years and have worked with about a dozen different sound-editors for hundreds of houres I do not manage to play a loop in Snd. Please! If you could educate me on this -- how do I play a selection looped ... well and how do I get a cursor that shows me what sample is being played in the graph actually -- that would mean the difference between giving in once more and start using Snd for real work on a regular basis. best regards HZN
