Title: Request - Preset buttons
Post by: Calibrator on August 05, 2011, 11:00:55 am
hey Peter, while it's quiet around here, any chance of a row of activation buttons linking back to selectable "Settings Presets" ? Similar in principal and operation to the size presets on top left side.

To change to a difference preset currently required 6 clicks, with the mouse pointer darting all over the GUI. A row of, say, five or even six, positioned underneath the INPUT/OUTPUT sample rate gauges would be perfect I reckon, if you can accommodate that.

I currently have four often-used profiles set up for:- no oversampling, double OS, quadruple OS and DTS playback, which are obviously selected depending upon the material I wish to play. Sure would make it easier clicking on a single button :)

It would be neat if you could also display the actual profile name assigned to each button when the mouse hovers over it, for those of us with lousy memories who forget what they assigned.

Thanks in advance for your consideration.

Cheers,

Russ

Something like ...

Create the presets as is done now, and next only link the buttons of your choice to the settings you can select from the existing ones, right ?

Should be fairly easy ...

Hey Peter,
When is the new version of XX coming to your faithless, er faithful followers? I've heard (well seen) you mention it several times but... If I remember correctly you implied that it will be less tweaky and more streamlined; me, myself and I are really looking forward to that; I hope we're remembering correctly.  :toomuch: :toomuch:

And speaking of quiet around here, why is that? Paris in August, summer doldrums, dog days, lack of interest, something better? And speaking of something better (not really) but interesting. While waiting for the "new and improved," XX I've been playing most of my music through a small well-built inexpensive media player because it's just so easy, no tweaking, a remote and it means not booting up the pc. And it sounds really good to boot. (I tried to write about their ilk here a while ago but everybody just dismissed or pooh-poohed the thought/item.)

Peter, I still think you should investigate these things and write some really good software for one. After all they're computers without all the Windows drek and superfluous noisy electronics/hardware. They seem to me to be a much better starting point than pc's.
