Hi,
I don't have much to add to what Julien said. See comments below.

Hello Jostein1
first of all thanks a lot! This is really very good of you!
Yes indeed! :)
To answer your questions: commandline options are
good enough. If
you're thinking of anything interactive, a shell interface usually
is the easiest. I suspect not only to use, but to program.
In general, the simpler
(as per unix pholosophy) a programme is, the
more accessible it is at the same time. If it's scriptable and/or
accessible over a network connection, it's probably accessible to to
blind people as well.
A normal man page and --help option are marvellous!
The status
line you described will work nicely.
On ethought: If you encounter errors in the process, it would be
good to give a short summary at the end about that. Because even if
you let the lines stay on the screen, there might be a lot of output
and so it might be dificult to find erros messages. Also I suspect
errors might pass to quickly to be read.
Which is in fact true even for sighted
people, if you have more than,
say 50 samples. Something like:
"Processed X samples in T seconds, with W warnings and E errors"
...would be great.
Another thing; If you do normal output, so no
special ncurses
involved, only working from commandline optios, it might be nice to
put ALL output to stdout, so it might also be used to easily pipe to
some pager or logged to a file.
Or better yet, a --log option which would generate
full reports might be
useful, especially if processing a large library.
Again: Thanks a great deal, this could be a very
valuable set of
applications. If you supply good commandline options (feature rich
enough), these apps might not only serve blind people, but also
script writers.
Yes, I think a lot of people out there need to create SFZ files out
of
their sample libraries.
Cheers,
S.M.
Warm regards
Julien
