Basically, these are some workflow enhancements that would make life easier for us all, I hope.
[Browser]
- When R-click VST and show info, instead, have a little section at bottom of browser to show this info in small panel that can be hidden.
- The reason is that it allows you to keep working whilst giving the info when needed. Rather than R-click, info, close window, repeat for every plugin. You can simply select a plugin, it shows the info at the bottom of the browser, MuLab window still in focus and you can select another plugin to instantly see its info.
- R-click a Plugin and have option to select as Favourite.
- In fact it would be easier if these other options were also available at the bottom of the browser with the info to instantly see what's what and select the ones needed.
[Composer]
- Mouse Side Scroll. My mouse has a wheel that has side scroll ability. Could we have that added to the composer please. Makes for easier scrolling horizontally rather than moving mouse and click-drag scrollbar, which is often underneath other windows.
[File System]
- Please can you change how files that are numbered are shown. Instead of 1, 10, 11, ... 2, 20, 21, please show using the natural sorting order as 1, 2, 3, 4, ... 10, 11, ... 20, 21, ...
[Mux Modular Environment / Front Panels]
- Make all parameters knobs that can be dragged to Front Panels. Drop down menu's could remain as is and simply be dragged to a Front Panel to be used as they are. But for all parameters that are simply edit boxes for text, these could be changed into knobs.
- Extend Modulations to allow all parameters within a module to be modulated.
- Add more settings to the Front Panel Preferences, like Default Group Frame, Knob, Text, Slider colours. This would save time when making complex front panels, so you don't need to change everything, just the default preferences.
[Plugin Manager]
- Colour each type of plugin for easy differentiation. eg, Red for VST2, Green for VST3, Blue for CLAP. User setting would be preferable, but simple colours like this are better than nothing.
- Have sort options like in Reaper where you can list plugins by type to show only that type. Whether by CLAP, VST2, VST3 or by Category. It's hard work scrolling through 500 plugins! Also, have an option to show UNcategorised plugins, that way we don't have to search through every plugin to see what's new and hasn't been given a category.
[Plugin Taskbar]
- When all windows are closed, auto-close the bar.
[VST Window]
- When displaying a VST/Plugin, most times you can click and scroll the drop down menu to select a patch preset. Is it possible to expand this to have a complete browser for presets?
- Something like u-he's browser would be amazing. You could have another button that opens the browser in either a new window or a new tab.
- Or maybe a simple browser tree view that can open next to the current Plugin window and collapsed when not in use. Sort of like how the tree works in windows file manager.
- if showing a plugins complete preset collection isn't possible, then at least show the current loaded bank as a list in a panel to the left or right, the drop down is archaic and slow to use.
