Re: What session managers do people prefer?
In meantime I've a suckless Curses like GUI prototype under my fingers To be more precise, after the fork I decided to be less dependent on others and pure out of interest and as a(nother) attempt to learn some programming myself in a field where my interest is, I did quite some prototyping with mo...

Re: What session managers do people prefer?
Might be nice to be able to 'announce' the patchbay as standalone (Patchance) to other NSM servers as well. In a more modular way and use it as (part of a) session manager GUI (only for connections and show/hide for example). Ok, this is a bug, I probably didn't think to renamed sessions while imple...

Re: What session managers do people prefer?
> Devs who uses RaySession could think they could provide arguments when supporting NSM, it works in RaySession so.. It is true, but not supporting arguments can be a very annoying missing feature too, for many reasons. That said, in RaySession's GUI, the fact NSM protocol doesn't supports argument...

Re: When is enough, enough..?
I'm sure PipeWire is working on real modern computer life problems (sandboxing, security), that world is in constant development of course, but it's approach is not particular KISS is seems. Like systemd is addressing real issues, but also it's approach is debatable (I leave that judgement to others...

Re: What session managers do people prefer?
@tramp, actually I agree with you. What I say is that I understand the reasons why NSM doesn't accept arguments, but I am not agree to be so strict. 1.) you need them very very rarely -> maybe, but when you need them you need them. That's why RaySession accepts them, with discouragements, because s...

Re: jack standalone vs LV2
The same can be done with NSM-Proxy, that's not specific for RaySession. I think it originates from Ladish or Lash, from the wiki: "Some apps are programmed to save their current state when they receive the “SIGUSR1” Unix signal, and LADISH is able to send this signal to such apps. On receiving...

Re: jack standalone vs LV2
carla-single: https://linuxmusicians.com/viewtopic.php?p=152592#p152592 Carla-Single can load a file (*.carxs) I noticed. So it should be able to restore it's state too indeed. So it should work in NSM-Proxy or a similar application. NSM doesn't accept command line arguments directly. https://linux...

Re: jack standalone vs LV2
The VST3 version of Vital has direct midi learn. So it's probably a issue in Vitalium then.

Re: jack standalone vs LV2
ok, via SIGUSR1. Would be nice if that would be native NSM, but then it needs some kind of minimal GUI at least I think. Same for Jalv. I see that Jalv has a 'plugin-selector' gui now, not sure if that would help to start with.

Re: jack standalone vs LV2
Heh your signature, lol. You're right. It even works in Jalv with Surge XT. So this should be fixed in Vitalium if one wants to have a reasonable workflow when working without a DAW as host. I was thinking Vital(ium) would need proper JACK support and NSM support to improve workflow, but if plugins ...

jack standalone vs LV2
Somewhere in my head there was this idea that a plugin in a LV2 host like Jalv, would essentially be a Jack application. Jalv website: "It runs LV2 plugins and exposes their ports as Jack ports, essentially making any LV2 plugin function as a Jack application." But then you launch the stan...

NSM clients reply ok to save, without proper permissions
For devs supporting/interested in NSM, some clients seems to respond to the NSM server 'save' command with 'ok', while they don't have the right permissions to save, so actually they're not ok. For instance original jackpatch, says: Error opening snapshot file for writing, but replies with a 'ok' to...

Re: Please, use stderr and stdout properly!
But yeah, it's now hard to split logging messages from modular applications in a modular setup as with nsmd. Quite easy to fix on the other hand. The NSM api has also a messages system: "1.2.4.4. Status Messages /nsm/client/message i:priority s:message Clients may send miscellaneous status upd...

Re: Please, use stderr and stdout properly!
Clicking dialog buttons is good fun indeed j_e_f_f_g Silence is golden. And if a GUI app prints messages (lot's of apps do it and and I don't see a reason why they shouldn't), it should send errors to stderr. With Bash this is mentioned right at the moment you want to learn it. Python does or can do...
