[Jsynthlib-devel] Odd behavior...

[Joe E. <jo...@em...>]

This is a little strange.

I wanted to capture a sysex dump from a device that I don't know the 
dump format for.

When I try to capture it with the current JSL, this causes an exception 
createPatches (I think is its name) because chooseDriver returns a null 
because it doesn't find any driver which returns true for acceptsPatch. 
So, I altered my copy of the Generic Device so that it always returns 
true for acceptsPatch.

This is where things got strange.

The next time I ran JSL and loaded a library, the patches that were 
already *in* the library were no unrecognized and the comment fields now 
had entries which said "Probably a Roland..." and "Probably a 
Alesis...", etc. Question #1: Is this behavior intentional when more 
than one driver accepts a patch? Shouldn't there be some kind of 
"priority level" to help JSL pick one?

Next, when I removed the always-true acceptsPatch method from Generic 
Device, the "Probably a Roland.." comments *remained* in the comment 
fields. Don't we want them to disappear when the problem does?
