Re: [seq24-users] mute groups feature - first impressions... AND code patch for --show_keys to work....

[Kevin M. <ke...@su...>]

I have a fix for 1 and 2, will try to get a patch together this weekend.

For #3, I don't know what "layout management" is, was just following the
examples in the other tabs (manual placement)...   Are you saying that you'd
rather that the sequence and groups grids be sized more uniformly, i.e. to
resemble a grid.  ?     I can take a stab at improving the Keyboard tab if
you can tell me specifically what you'd like.  Keeping in mind my GTK
experience is all google searches, and looking at other examples in
seq24...  (i have win32, mfc, winforms experience so it's all familier
however).  :-)
