Re: [LMMS-devel] Logarithmic Scales

Thanks for your help, Toby. A few questions are left:

So you mean to bind the property to a model (instead of a connection, like I 
proposed)? This would restrict the user to not use two scale types to control 
one model (i.e. one logarithmic, one linear). Does anyone think this 
restriction is too restrictive?

Anyways, if I bind this property to the model... How to activate it then? Self 
activation for effects? Then imagine you add an effect, how should LMMS know 
that the scale should be logarithmic? I think LMMS can only guess it for some 
cases.

So I think it is compulsory to add an option in the right click menu to let 
the user choose the scale type (with the assumption that the user is more 
clever than the computer ;) )?

Ok, I guess the first is for automation tracks and the second is to receive a 
value from the controller for my model (e.g. a knob receives a new value), 
correct?
