For me, even though I use Linux for both personal interests and to provide bread money (have no Windows nor Mac), and for so many years, a "Linux way of doing things" does not cut it. I do not see any other application that uses multiple GUI windows that can benefit from being opened at the same time. Libreoffice might have some navigation popup but then, they can be incorporated into the main screen where they are easier to access. So, being a "Linux way of doing things" is not substantiated IMHO. OTOH, comparing with a complex synth such as Zebra2, or Dark Zebra, can be useful. Comparing with Bazille, also a complex synth, is not right because Bazille uses wires that are drawn on the screen to connect components and provide ports to run wires between screens that are not seen. Zebra2 synths do not have multiple windows yet, they are complex beasts. And yet, their user interface is inviting to tweak things. Many things can be accessed at the same time w/o needing to clutter the desk space with multiple windows. Each wave of the 4 oscillators can be tweaked in their own GUI section. Then, when graphically adjusting the multiple segment envelope generator, is there a need to see the wave form for oscillator 3 ? At the exact same time ? I don't think so. The OSC3 wave display is a click away and the user can switch easily between that and the MSEG graphic display, in a snap. Artists are not necessarily lab users, after all. Although above that the real exercise would be to demonstrate clearly that multiple windows for a single application, a synth, actually leads to creating better sounds. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
