Yep this is a problem that came up when I fixed the issue with midi ports last night. If you have a synth connected to USB interface X which is disconnected, before it would either end up on a random interface or crash, whereas now it will fail to load that interface and instead connect to whichever interface happens to be in position 0. I think this then gets saved at some point so if you start it up again but this time the interface is there, you will remain on whichever interface was at 0 the previous time.
I think rather than fall back to a default port the better outcome would be that it retains the interface the user set it at and the interface could be marked as unavailable in any lists that are displayed. Possibly re-query the user or maybe just warn them that the port is not available. It would depend if its a common use case to disconnect and reconnect ports, and if constant re-querying is a pain in the arse or not! frankie ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity and more.
