[Jsynthlib-devel] Extremely wierd behavior

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

I wrote a "HexDumpEditorFrame" which is useful for checking the contents
of your sysex patches before you start working on the editor. It doesn't
allow any *editing*; it just does a hex dump to a textarea. Since it's
pretty generic, I've put it in synthdrivers.Generic. So, to get a quick
look at your patch data, you just add

    protected JSLFrame editPatch(Patch p) {
            return (new synthdrivers.Generic.HexDumpEditorFrame(p));
    }

to your driver. Then, when you try to "Edit..." the patch, you get the
hex dump.

But here's the *really* wierd part. Whenever I use "Edit..." on one of
my patches, JSL appears to *send* the sysex out the midi interface. I've
tracked this down to the core.Actions.Worker.run() method. In that
method, is the following code:

        try {
            JSLFrame frm =
            getSelectedFrame().editSelectedPatch();
            if (frm != null) {
                PatchEdit.getDesktop().add(frm);
                frm.moveToDefaultLocation();
            frm.setVisible(true);

when     frm.setVisible(true)   is run, JSL *sends* the sysex data. But
this should just display the JSLFrame, no?

This has me totally baffled.
