[06:03] fluidsynth: does this have standard directories it looks in for soundfonts? [06:07] No. That doesn't make sense. Maybe Qsynth? [06:12] Nope not that either. [06:13] Users new to Studio who try to use fluidsynth through qsynth or the calf fluidsynth plugin will have a hard time finding the sf2s [06:13] Who is going to think to look in /usr/share/sounds/sf2/? [06:15] OvenWerks, http://paste.ubuntu.com/14212250/ [06:16] zequence: I know it is frowned on to put thing into /etc/skel but I think this is one of those places it would make sense. I would like to suggest a link in there called soundfont that points to that directory. [06:16] cfhowlett: yes I have those two files. [06:17] They come with Studio, but they are installed in a place that I was able to find... but not a lot of other people [06:17] The two GUIs open the file dialog in the home directory [06:18] OvenWerks, sounds like someone goofed [06:21] cfhowlett: The man pages for these two things do not give any default directory. [06:22] OvenWerks, yep. contact the maintainer and request a feature? [06:22] or at least better documentation? [06:22] cfhowlett: It makes sense to look in the home directory because users can DL sound fonts to use. [06:23] cfhowlett: It does not make sense for a deb package to install things in the home directory. [06:23] So it is not really the maintainers mistake. [06:24] The two things are not compatable. [06:25] (and it would be two maintainers) [07:42] OvenWerks: fluidsynth seems to open the soundfont filemanager at a location where there are 2 soundfonts. it took me a while to understand it was a soundfont player... [07:43] but once i found the "open patch" button, like i wrote, it defaulted the location to where those 2 are stored.. [13:27] hm... trying to do that quick tutorial for rapid photo downloader and darktable... [13:27] but gtk-recordMyDesktop is making super crappy result.. [13:28] opening menus make the entire screen glitch, 2 cursors on screen: one is locked the other is active but moving super non-fluid... [13:28] I gave up trying with that [13:29] i do have a tripod and a camera... [13:29] flocculant: ok, snap it.. [13:29] I used kazam [13:29] are there any alternatives? [13:30] there used to be something really small and simple a cycle or two back - not current though [13:30] yea I used kazam :p [13:31] https://launchpad.net/~maarten-baert/+archive/ubuntu/simplescreenrecorder appears to have caught up now :) [13:31] guess that means we should discuss abandoning gtk-record;yDesktop...? [13:32] no idea - not anything to do with me :) [13:32] yeah... its not the first time i have this deception with it... [13:33] tryed it arround 13.04 and it was the same catastrof [13:36] :) [13:39] is kazam KDE? [13:44] kazam was great for video, but i got no sound, althought the settings seem correct... [13:47] for some reason it is muted, but changing the volume kazam crashes... [13:49] too much frustration in one hour :D i give up for now. read you later! [13:50] (not that you have anything to do with my frustration, i just need to step away from the screen a moment) [15:33] sakrecoer_: which fluidsynth? [15:34] sakrecoer_: Is tha qsynth? [15:37] sakrecoer_: qsynth I am not sure... It seems at some time I had to go looking there too, but it saves the last used directory so I am not sure if I found it before or it has been changed to default there. [15:39] sakrecoer_: the calf fluidsynth plugin does not save that info at all. [15:40] sakrecoer_: it defaults to the home directory. [15:51] sakrecoer_: scratch that, it defaults to the PWD. For Ardour that is home (actually the directory started from), but for qtracktor that is the project directory. [16:01] OvenWerks: sorry, yes, the qSynth [16:01] havn't tested the calf fluidsynth tbh [16:02] qSynth defaults to the right directory [16:02] the others i don't know yet... [16:02] sakrecoer_: The reason I mention the plugin, is because that is becoming the major use for a lot of people. [16:02] calf rocks! [16:02] well... i love the ones i have used [16:02] But it looks like different plugin hosts will default to different places. [16:03] monosynth, multiband compressor, reverb... [16:03] OvenWerks: can we influense those default? [16:03] Not really. [16:03] Those defaults make sense in each case. [16:05] sakrecoer_: a developer for a plugin host should not have to figure out what PWD to start each plugin at. [16:09] OvenWerks: makes sense. but can we ship our own default somehow?
