tied to this being preset related. The gist is two things; a) the
renaming of ports, and b) recalling user made port renaming in a completely
different host.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Re a);</div><div><br></div><div>Addressing
your second paragraph; forgetting presets, is there anything
stopping hosts just letting users alter port names? From the responses
when I brought this up in #lv2, the possibility of hosts just allowing
that, plus a host saving that information in its own state save
file, seemed to be something that could be implemented in the here and
now.<br></div><br><div>Re b);</div><div><br></div><div>For data portability, i.e., to be able to reload such changes in a different host, needs a specification level mechanism.<br></div><div><br></div><div>"Such a concept would need to be sufficiently flexible, support translations, and retain the layout"</div><div><br></div><div>"Flexible" is a nebulous descriptor :) Might you be able to expand on that?<br></div><div><br></div><div>"Translations"
- there is already a Turtle mechanism for storing localisations (is it
in the spec? it's in the book). Would it not be more a host UI
question as to how that would be implemented?<br></div><div><br></div><div>"retain
the layout" - there is the plugin GUI layout, the
autogenerated-by-the-host plugin-configuration layout, maybe a graph
layout. What am I missing?<br></div><div><br></div><div>For the latter two (or any other possible place a host might display a port name), is that not just a host UI issue? <br></div><div><br></div><div>Plugins that eventually might directly allow users to change such
a label in their GUI would make accommodations for text entry, just as in
other contexts where they do allow such.<br></div><div><br></div><div>-Milkii<br></div></div></div>
