Hi, I don't have much to add to what Julien said. See comments below. On Sat, Apr 16, 2011 at 01:27:49PM +0200, Julien Claassen wrote: > Hello Jostein1 > first of all thanks a lot!

In general, the simpler (as per unix pholosophy) a programme is, the more accessible it is at the same time. If it's scriptable and/or accessible over a network connection, it's probably accessible to to blind people as well. > A normal man page and --help option are marvellous!

Which is in fact true even for sighted people, if you have more than, say 50 samples. Something like: "Processed X samples in T seconds, with W warnings and E errors" ...would be great. > Another thing; If you do normal output, so no special ncurses > involved, only working from commandline optios, it might be nice to > put ALL output to stdout, so it might also be used to easily pipe to > some pager or logged to a file. Or better yet, a --log option which would generate full reports might be useful, especially if processing a large library. > Again: Thanks a great deal, this could be a very valuable set of > applications.

Yes, I think a lot of people out there need to create SFZ files out of their sample libraries.
