not a spec yet, just a lash-up to begin with…
first stab at the tool options
some notes
- al blue links (underline on mouseover) link to the corresponding pop-up entry in the dockable (below) that will be raised when a link is clicked;
- the ‘Brush dynamic’ link links to the Mapping matrix pop-up entry in the dockable that will be raised when the link is clicked;
- all brush dynamics input buttons are without border (only on mouse-over), use the UI theme's link color to paint the icons and link to the corresponding pop-up entry in the dockable that will be raised when one of these buttons is clicked;
- the full input label is shown by a tooltip for the brush dynamics input buttons;
- ‘E1’ is an external (midi) controller, more can be configured.
- the Preview & Practice button sets the canvas in preview/practice mode, more on that later…
the new dockable
some notes
- the pop-up list at the top has all the inputs and outputs listed in two sections. it addresses the questions: “what does this input control?” and “what control this output?”
- depending if at the top an input or an out put is chosen, all valid outputs or input are shown in the scrolling list at the bottom;
- the scrolling list has checkboxes on the left to switch on/off a input->output mapping;
- only curves for mappings that are on are shown
- the highlighted and on mapping is editable as a curve, its line color is fg (black here), all other curver are 50% fg/bg (grey here);
- the min/max triangles on the right of the curves track the min and max of the highlighted curve; dragging one of the triangles itself moves the min or max of the curve and scales the whole curve;
- the ‘Show input checkbox’ enables the tracking of the input (either the one selected in the pop-up or highlighted in the scrolling list) in a way similar as the color sampling is shown in the Curves dialog (vertical line at current value);
