KnobMan, the VSTGUI AnimationKnob bitmap generator

[deepfish]

hello,
displayed "FabricStar.knob" (3,59KB) seems old file.
in Ver.1.17 the "FabricStar.knob" is 205KB.

all .knob files in the knobman117.zip are already re-saved. can you confirm?

hi g200kg, thanks for getting back to me so quick!

yes, i can confirm, "FabricStar.knob" is 205KB.
i was using my other computer (it's the only one connected to the internet)
for screenshotting ...
so here's the screenshot from my main DAW:



as you can see, there's no preview, nor an icon that looks like the knob ...

and what do you say on my idea to have a preview window in the open dialog?

The same here... no preview!
but if i rename the .knob to .png it works.

is it an association thing?

Plese consider group folders for layers. I am getting very lost managing the layers as things get more complex, my last knob has 32 layers and is not done yet. It would help if I could folder certain layers to form groups, it would make editing later on easier as well.

Perhaps some area for documentation (notes), as I share my work it would make it possible for me to explain things or at least remind myself what I was doing.

Thanks.

Duncan - are you drunk this afternoon ? Your explanation of a high pass filter got me worried and now this

[duncanparsons]

Sorry, tree view! some smelling pistakes yes-toady

I think it could work really well, with small bitmaps on each node (as used on the tabs). You could then see all of the layers in one go and navigate more easily than scrolling tabs.. a list view would work as well. Both allow for quick re-arranging too.

[OT]What's wrong with my HiPass exp? I know my smelling was off there too, but it is a differential, and simply subtracting the previous sample is as simple as it gets![/OT]

I agree this would be a better way to handle layers, like the way gimp and photoshop do.

hmmmm...
1. Is a normal PNG file can be thumnailed?

sorry for the late reply ... damned, somehow kvr doesn't notify me when replies are made in this thread ... really strange ...
on topic:
yes, png's are thumbnailled, the regular png screenshots(graphics are thumbnailled, as well as previewed correctly in the windows explorer (and all other explorers)...

2. How about rename the "FabricStar.knob" to "FabricStar.png"?

that works ... but it doesn't really moke sense, no?

3. In the registory [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.knob\ShellEx\{{BB2E617C-0920-11D1-9A0B-00C04FC2D6C1}}], default value = REG_SZ {7376D660-C583-11d0-A3A5-00C04FD706EC} is set correctly?

i think that's where the problem is ...there is no .knob in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ ... it seems that double clicking/rightclicking the registry key doesn't add an entry for some/me ...

About open dialog, I know anyway i think the image data had better to be combined to the data file. this is just a first step

well, of course, take all the time that is needed, don't feel rushed, you should actually stick with having fun with programming that damned thing ... ...
but you know what?, you should add a to do list on your site, so everyone can check there if the feature request will make it to be added or not ... so not everybody will have to bomb you with feature requests ... ain't that an idea?

Save ---- crash --- file not saved work is gone

just when I thought I almost had it done...

[ouroboros]

that's awesome!

[Hlis93]

not anymore. Thats alright the basic structure of it is saved & stored on website. But the fine details I was working out for the last few hours are gone...The only reason I have the screenshot is so that I could post it to check how I and labeled the meter...LOL good thing I didn't save first or I would even have the screenshot.

maybe another night. Bit PO to think straight now.

Still the best darn program that I have used in the last year. Absolutely love this thing.

damn I have to learn to type and proof read.

[runagate]

That's f-ing sick.

I gotta learn me that app!
