Re: [fluid-dev] Allow soundfonts to be searched from multiple directories

Hi, I'm happy to go along with what you said, but I have a few comments. If we decide to read from an environment variable, we should read it from the existing @FLUID_DAEMON_ENV_FILE@. It doesn't make sense to use $PATH since that has a different purpose on Linux systems (namely, searching for bina

Re: [fluid-dev] Allow soundfonts to be searched from multiple directories

Thanks for the feedback guys! I share the concerns brought up here and agree that this is no suitable feature for the fluidsynth library. I.e. the current proposal to make it a FluidSetting and expose a find_soundfont() function via the API is not suitable. IMO this should be implemented as e

Re: [fluid-dev] Allow soundfonts to be searched from multiple directories

I had similar thoughts, re. searching the file system path not being a synth feature. But simply deferring to the application has other downsides when it comes to soundfont adoption in general - end users must manually configure each application and there’s no standard way to do this. Eg. for my

Re: [fluid-dev] Allow soundfonts to be searched from multiple directories

Hello, if I can say my opinion, it would be better to leave that change outside the library. It looks more a feature for the application that it is using FluidSynth. This introduces also the need to distinguish between absolute/relative/virtual/network/etc paths, that can vary on different platf

Re: [fluid-dev] Allow soundfonts to be searched from multiple directories

Hi, I like the general idea. In my opinion it only makes sense if there are sensible default values for (nearly?) all platforms, so having a compile-time option would be a prerequisite. But I think requiring the user to set -O synth.soundfont-dirs=... on the command-line if the compiled-in defaul

[fluid-dev] Allow soundfonts to be searched from multiple directories

Per request I'm moving this discussion to the mailing list. Motivation: https://github.com/FluidSynth/fluidsynth/issues/453 Current PR: https://github.com/FluidSynth/fluidsynth/pull/454 Essentially the feature would add an option called "synth.soundfont-dirs". I've chosen to make this a semi-colo
