Whoa, this is way cool! Do these plugins work in Vanilla Pd 0.43?
How do I install it?
After I developed Pd's original buttonbar, I realised that it's not
particularly useful. Keyboard shortcuts are a lot more useful. The
buttonbar is bit more comfortable if it supports drag-n-drop. This
is something I haven't implemented, and Hans hasn't implemented
either.
However, Hans implemented auto-hide. (Instead, I had an editmode
toggle in the bar)
I wonder what the auto-hide thing means in terms of how big patch
windows are when they open.
Funny, I started out doing it to test the idea of hiding/showing
something based on editmode, but then it grew into a life of its own.
Right now, I find the behavior a little annoying, the canvas stays
the
same size, and the buttonbar is inserted at the top, so it moves the
canvas down. I think it would work better to have the button bar
show
up at the bottom if its going to expand the window size. Or the
other
option is that it covers part of the canvas and the window stays the
same size, but that I think would be harder to implement since Pd
wants to control the size of the canvas.
Another thing I think should be possible as a plugin is to have a
right-click menu bar of those buttons.
And an other small window à la The Gimp (window toobox) ?
That would not be hard to do. Basically just create a 'toplevel'
window, and arrange the buttons that I made for the toolbar in that
toplevel window. The plugin could also add key bindings and items in
the Window menu, or wherever appropriate. I'm happy to give pointers
to anyone who wants to take this on.
