| * mpt is looking for legitimate uses of assistants (a.k.a. wizards), other than installers | 14:46 | |
| mpt | -- preferably not related to troubleshooting or setting up virtual machines :-) | 14:47 |
|---|---|---|
| mpt | https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=windows+wizard&tbm=isch is a panoply of sadness and navel-gazing | 14:51 |
| thorwil | mpt: project creation. for example an audio project, where you have to make choices like sampling rate, sound device settings and storage location before you can do anything | 14:53 |
| mpt | thorwil, is there an application where I can see that now? Jokosher perhaps? | 14:53 |
| thorwil | mpt: ardour | 14:54 |
| thorwil | though i would count that as acceptable example, not necessarily a great one. | 14:55 |
| mpt | thanks | 14:55 |
| mpt | LOL | 14:58 |
| mpt | "Please consider the possibilities, and perhaps try different parameters." | 14:58 |
| * mpt considers the possibilities. Jump out the window? | 14:59 | |
| thorwil | where's that from? | 14:59 |
| mpt | thorwil, from the "Ardour could not start JACK" error message that prevents me from proceeding | 15:00 |
| thorwil | ubuntu's ardour package has a history of being broken. if it's not broken, it is still outdated | 15:01 |
| mpt | Is it GTK? It has incorrectly centered labels, which is a bad default in GTK | 15:01 |
| thorwil | mpt: i'm about to leave for a while, if you are interested in screenshots of the new session dialog, i can provide some this evening | 15:02 |
| thorwil | yes, gtk | 15:02 |
| mpt | thorwil, that would be good, thanks, if it's actually multiple steps (the distinction between an assistant and just a dialog) | 15:03 |
| thorwil | i mean to recall it really is several steps, but i tend to take measure to not bring it up :) | 15:04 |
| thorwil | mpt: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/485382/ardour-3_startup.tar.bz2 | 18:47 |
| thorwil | when i said "acceptable" earlier, i meant the use of an assistant at all. making the screenshots reminded me of the boatload of issues this one has | 18:49 |
