The first milestone is reached and result is a tarball that brave souls may want to download and try. It contains implementation of JACK multiconfig functionality. JACK server settings can be saved as part of a studio. Then, loading studio will cause JACK settings stored as part of the studio to be restored. Build will produce three operational components: * ladishd - The daemon, a D-Bus service * gladish - GTK GUI interface * ladish_control - Command-line interface In the tarball you will also find bundled suitable (latest and gratest) flowcanvas and LADI Tools.

Its aim is to allow you to have many different audio programs running at once, to save their setup, close them down and then easily reload the setup at some other time. ladish doesn't deal with any kind of audio or MIDI data itself; it just runs programs, deals with saving/loading (arbitrary) data and connects JACK ports together. It can also be used to move entire sessions between computers, or post sessions on the Internet for download. ladish has GUI frontend, gladish, based on lpatchage (LADI Patchage) and the ladish_control command line app for headless operation. LADI Tools is set of apps that interface with ladish, JACK server and a2jmidid ladish requires D-Bus and JACK compiled with D-Bus support. LADI Session Handler is rewrite of LASH. Project goals: * Save and restore sets of JACK (audio and MIDI) enabled applications. * Provide JACK clients with virtual hardware ports, so projects can be transfered (or backups restored) between computers running different hardware and backups. * Don't require session handling library to be used. There is no need of such library for restoring connections between JACK clients. * Flow canvas based GUI. Positions of elements on the canvas are saved/restored. * Allow clients to use external storage to save its state. This includes storing internal state to non-filesystem place like memory of a hardware synth. This also includes storing client internal state (client project data) in a way that is not directly bound to ladish project. * Import/export operations, as opposed to save/load. Save/load operate in current system and may cause saving data outside of project itself (external storage). Import/export uses/produces "tarball" suitable for transferring session data over network to other computer or storing it in a backup archive. * Hierarchical or tag-based organization of projects. * List of JACK applications. Applications are always started through ladish to have restored runtime environment closer to one existed before project save. * Distributed studio - network connected computers. Netjack configuration is part of the studio and thus is saved/restored. * Collaborate with the X11 window manager so window properties like window position, virtual desktop and screen (multimonitor) are saved/restored. -- Nedko Arnaudov <GnuPG KeyID: DE1716B0>
