Maybe that's because of excessive GUI-thread-usage i.e. screen-updates/animatins. The render-process itself will always only take max. 100% in 0.3.x > Well, I like the idea of an 'editor' window just changing behaviour, but > it's definitely handy to be able to view a rhythm, a piano roll and an > automation side by side, so to speak. Why? Anyways it looks like we can satisfy this requirement too, see below. > Likewise, it'd be really good if one > could see two piano rolls simultaneously to compare timing of notes. hm one could add a split-view (like in Konqueror) to have to patterns open in one piano-roll. Having two piano-rolls is a bad idea in my eyes. > One idea I'd suggest is to make ctrl-tab more like alt-tab.

The new dock-interface will make this obsolete I think ;-) > But I'm interested in this 'dock' idea - can you explain that a little > further? See http://doc.trolltech.com/4.3/mainwindows-dockwidgets.html - on the right side there're 2 dock-widgets. You can move, resize, close and undock them. Furthermore several docks can be stacked onto each other so that a tab-bar is displayed where you can switch between the docks. Beside that search for "qt dock widget" at google picture-search and you'll see further examples of what's meant. Said that the editor-window could have several tabs for the editors - by dragging a tab to somewhere you can undock the editor or move it to somewhere else as normal dock. The attached mockup shows a basic idea for the new GUI. toby |
