Hi (again today) i know that the GUI is still in construction and some new features are coming… i just get the feedback that a couple of points can be evaluate and maybe fix in the future: - the anchors of the panels are hard to grab sometimes, they are very thin in fact… can we improve the width of the anchor zone ? - well, gui color custom prefs… this is something i have seen from various users - the commands of commenting/uncommenting as toolbar buttons and alt-click - memory/processing usage indicator, to feel the limitation before it is too late 🙂 - less synth, but with more options (e.g. basic waveforms whould include a shape selector at the place of independant synthdefs. … not sure about this one, as i (personnaly) like the minimalism. - play/stop/kill independently for each buffer as well as a general play/stop - a main mixer module (tracks can be added on the fly at the time we connect a loop/thread output (e.g. mix\_in: 1… in every synth/sampler) … again not sure as i use amp: variables to mix, but sometimes, it is nice to get a gain per sound types, this can apply to sub-mix groups as outputs concepts for the master section. notes: actually, there is more… but as i know more and more this forum, i now get the point of “priorization”, from the dev team and sam. well, i wanted to share what they said around me… and what i think is relevant also have a nice day uriel ---

Hi there, some of these sound like interesting ideas for discussion for new features. Probably the best place for that is GitHub - perhaps creating an issue for each. @ethancrawford might have better ideas on how to capture these as feature requests. We’ve been discussing a system for that possibly based around the SuperCollider RFC approach here: [GitHub - supercollider/rfcs](https://github.com/supercollider/rfcs) However, even if we were to accept an RFC its implementation really depends on finding people prepared to work on it. ---

Hi Sam, thanks for your answer… looks interesting. Yes the github is the plateform, i can create a new ITS for each of the topic, can be easy. Anyway, all of the point mentioned earlier can be implemented by myself at one point if we agree that : - you feel that it is the way to go - the feature is useful for kids and not a distraction for adult - it is not use of other libs (no more) - it gives more flexibility during live coding session (hard core ones) any, i am looking at those points and check around myself if they feel the need of them and how thyey consider it should be implemented, also we can discuss on github, but i like this forum already 🙂 bye, have a great day uriel ---

I think they’ll be easier to be discussed individually and hopefully making a single source of feature requests and discussions will make it easier to deal with duplicate similar requests 🙂 Also - totally agreed with all of your constraints. That’s exactly the kind of lens we need to be looking though when considering features.
