Sorry about the "long post" 😉

This might be a suggestion rather than a bug report but here are some ideas 😉 :

• Let the folder list be dockable/floating • have each folder group be expandable/colaspable • move the connector filters to the top-left • move the connector filters in the same column as the Toolbox • have a button next to the search area, where the connector filters would pop up (either on mouse-over or LMB-down) cheers

I don't think that this should happen, i wouldn't mind if they were extra options to do this though, i think the layout is perfect as it is at the moment.

Let the folder list be dockable/floating

I think there should be a hide toolbox option in the menu.

Do you mean the Filter bar Tom? The complete toolbox (including filter bar) can already be shown/hidden (see View menu).

infuzion, there is a limit on what you can do with the filter bar in terms of customization. This certainly needs addressing. It's one of those issues that's been in my head for months but has always made way for other things that have taken priority.

Instead of solving this specific issue I'd prefer to re-design the way that the toolbox filters work. It's difficult to know when this will happen but if you're prepared to put up with the limitations for a bit longer hopefully I can get this done soon.

Thanks for flagging this.

Yeah sorry i mean the Filter bar, i typed the wrong thing 🙂 I sometimes press them by mistake and it adds stuff to the toolbox ect, i don't use the Filter bar and i don't plan to so the option to hide it would be great, thanks

I think there are many other things that are more important also, just wanted to get it filed 😉

Had a couple of ideas for a cool interface for your modules. Were most likely too crazy, might post it someday 🙂

Before your first post

A few rules keep this a friendly place. You agree to them once.

Shown next to what you post, here and in the app. It doesn’t have to be your real name: 3–24 lower-case letters, digits or _ (capitals become lower case, spaces become _).

    Then your post goes up straight away.

    Open it in SynthMaker?

    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.
