[seq24-users] two minor feature requests; patches attached

[adolson <ad...@gm...>]

Hi Rob,

I was hoping you would accept the two patches I have attached to this email.

--

seq24-label-fix.diff

This one-liner simply shows the MIDI bus number on the main window on
a scale of 1-16 instead of 0-15. This is more in line with the MIDI
channel number display, as well as in the menus for the MIDI bus,
where they are numbered 1-16. I have been using seq24 a lot in the
past few weeks, and this gets a bit confusing sometimes. If I check
via the box label what bus a pattern is playing on, when it says 10,
the actual bus is 11, and so it throws me off because 10 is the one I
want (since this is where I have connected Hydrogen via JACK). It's
just a consistency fix, to help get rid of some confusion.

seq24-menu-changes.diff

As I said, I have been using seq24 a lot in the past few weeks, and
it's been bugging me that to quickly change the MIDI channel that a
pattern is playing on I have to either right-click and Edit and then
change from the menu there, or right-click and go to Midi Bus > [same
Midi Bus I already have selected, which is numbered differently than
what is labeled on the box, hence the above patch] > new Channel
Number. I frequently forget and change the bus by mistake. So what I
did with this patch was broke the thing into two menus, MIDI Bus and
MIDI Channel. Now you can change either/or very quickly and easily.
The only thing better than this patch (that I could think of) would be
to point the cursor at a pattern box, hold CTRL and mousewheel to
change the bus, or hold ALT and mousewheel to change the channel (but
this is beyond my programming skills at this time..).

I Ccd the user list in case anyone else finds these patches useful.
They apply against the latest 0.8.7 release and compile cleanly (they
are very minor changes, really).

Thanks for the consideration, Rob. And I'm sorry that my first patches
weren't something more spectacular that you have been requested for
more often. :)
