Just a quick one (can't see it elsewhere). Would it be possible to add the option to sort the toolbox by component "title" as well as name?

I'm forever squinting through dozens of components trying to find e.g. "Drag" but it's named "Mouse Drag" so doesn't appear where you'd expect it. I know you can use Search but the sorting would be handy 🙂

Cheers,

Inigo

Well i have actually asked for a sort by created option which is similar so any recent modules added can be found quickly but it still has not been added so bump for that one 🙂

Small bump.

Was looking at the Wave/new connector stuff and hunting for "Read" but it's called "Poly Wave Read" so somewhere else in the list - it reminded me about sorting the list by title as well as name. Alternatively the titles of the internal modules could more sensibly simply be the same as the name?

Hi Inigo/Tom,

I haven't forgotton about this. I agree that there are some issues with finding things in the toolbox and there have been several suggestions about how to improve things.

Other issues have been taking priority recently but I hope to be dealing with this soon.

Malc.

Thanks Malc, It's not a biggie.

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.

    Want to keep that track’s sound? Start a new song in SynthMaker first (Song › New song), then open this.
