i've noticed on the standard windows drop lists they have break lines so you can group entries.
i would really like to see these implemented on SM's drop lists.
basicly i have knobs that when you left click on the label a drop list appears with lots of sources so you can assign any of these sources to the knob like osc2 , env1 ,lfo1 ect... so the knob controls the amount of the source that go to that destination.
i need the break line because below the sources i want to put an option for midi learn but obviously it needs to be separate from the rest of the entries.
so that it is clear that it's separate from the rest of the entries.
cheers 😉

Hi exo,
hmmm, can you detect the "__________" and then jump +1 in the Index of the drop list?
Only 1st thoughts...

hmm... i don't think so, i've tried it by putting in a line, but the line show's as a clickable option and i can't make it 'jump' to the next option because the drop list is a closed component, i can only make it so clicking on the line does nothing.
if a line break was included in SM's drop list then it would go straight to the option below you wouldn't be able to click on it.
line breaks are obviously part of the standard windows drop down so i think this should also be included in SM's, i think a clickable line would just be confusing for the user, and look rather unprofessional.
cheers 😉

yes, this would look unprofessional...
I was not aware:
and i can't make it 'jump' to the next option because the drop list is a closed component, i can only make it so clicking on the line does nothing.
So let us pray that the dev's implement this soon (or later... 😉

btw: Is there a tip 4 copying a programm in the Presetmanager?
If i select a new prog all my knobs jumps to the 'NULL'-position...
even if all have a default value...

hmm.. AFAIK if the preset is not set it should switch to the default value, i've just tested it with my synth and this is what happens, although some knobs show different values on different empty slots.
so i don't know i find the preset manager to be unpredictable sometimes.
maybe try this..... go into your preset manager properties and change the the number of entries to only the ones that you are using, so there are no empty slots, then save this as a text file. then delete the preset manger all together and replace it with a new one from the toolbox.(so basically the new preset manager will be a blank sheet with no entries), then load the preset file you have just saved into the new preset manager, and then increase the number of entries to what you had before.
thats a shot in the dark really, but i think it might work because you can save entires in the preset manager but you can't delete them. so if your empty slots have some how been set at zero, then the only way to change them would be to save over them. so basically my method should reset the preset manager. so when you select an empty slot everything should go to there default values. well heres hoping anyway 😉
cheers 😉

Now i'm awaken and see what you mean! I'm shure it will work!

I'm sure the user-made droplists could be coaxed to do this... 😉

To define a separator just add - as an item.

Hmm.. I don't usually bump topics but I'm making an exception with this one 😉
Soooo..... BUMP!!!!!! 😀
This might only seem like a minor feature but i think it is really needed, and would make the drop lists in SM complete now that we also have sub lists.
Now I'm sure my drop list from the wiki could be made to do this but with my project i need this feature for it's really not an option.
Firstly my custom drop list doesn't have sub menus which I use a lot, i also have a huge matrix that contains 60 drop lists!!! so there could be efficiency issues like increased file size CPU use, not to mention the fact I'd have to position all of the drop list separately to make sure that they all fit on to the screen.
So please malc if you have the time can you take a look and see if this could be added, maybe it would be a quick thing to add? i don't know.
Oh this reminds me of another needed feature for the drop lists, here.....
extra ticks for sub menus
I'll refrain from bumping that one, I think a link will do. 😉 😀
cheers 😉
