[Jsynthlib-devel] Use of "patchSize" to automatically finish getting a patch?

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

So, for the last couple of days, I've been experimenting with the way 
that JSL requests patches. Today, I tried setting patchSize in my driver 
for the first time.

I noticed that setting patchSize didn't cause the "Get Patch" dialog to 
automatically close. I still had to click "Done".

Two questions:
 1 - Is there a reason we would *not* want JSL to autmatically close the 
"Get Patch" dialog box if the patch sizes match *and* the driver returns 
"true" for "acceptsPatch"?

 2 - If patchSize isn't used for this, what *is* it used for? Is it only 
used in the default acceptsPatch() method in Driver?

I think we talked about #1 a couple of months ago... where someone 
mentioned that it might be helpful for a driver to indicate that, 
although more sysex messages were needed to complete what the driver was 
expecting, the set of sysex messages received so far were correct. In 
other words, a way for a driver to say "It's a good start, but I need 
more...".
