But i would like to point out two important facts:
1.It shouldn't rely on a particular plugin type. Lv2 is coming and it should be supported as well. No big problem so far.. 2.It shouldn't rely on a special library (parser,database..). Free audio software is often used not only on linux - hydrogen (for example) is available for linux, windows and mac os x. This makes me think that plain text files would be a good choice for this task. Just keep it simple.. But how shoud those files be stored ? As a subfolder in ladspa/lv2 plugin directories? Or in a seperate directory, something like "~/.plugin-presets/" ? (Ok, plugin-presets could lead to some confusion...) What we really need is an agreement between the big linux audio applications. As a hydrogen developer, i could ask the rest of the team about this topic. Any comments from the ardour-team or other projects? - Sebastian _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list Linux-audio-dev@lists.linuxaudio.org http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
