No, the code I ported is from vslider_set and vslider_draw_update (might be 
different in Vanilla).

In vslider_bang, math is done to output the proper value.  Without looking at 
the code I would have guessed vslider_bang simply outputs a stored value like 
[float] does.  Then just do math to set the slider position or calculate a new 
stored value from mouse input.

Hi Roman. This is turning out trickier than I thought. A friend explained the 
code to me and got to the following equation, with min/max values as 0.01 and 1 
respectively.

[expr 0.01 * exp((log(1 / 0.01) / 0.01) * $f1 * 0.01)]


For what I've checked, it seems to behave like your patch. But it doesn't do 
the trick I'm looking for yet. I sent a patch earlier, and I'm sending it back 
again.

The goal is to connect a linear slider to an [expr] (with this so called "log" 
function) and then to another linear slider. The idea then is that this second 
slider behaves as one that was set as being "log".

In the patch attached I was able to emulate it poorly with [pow 0.25], but that 
was before reaching the list. See that if I use this expr function from the 
code or your patch it presents quite a different behavior.

maybe it is some sort of inversion of this equation, not sure. Apparently this 
code converts the "log" function values to linear and I'm hoping to get the 
exact opposite. Got it?

Thanks for looking into this
