Best GUI-Based GNU/Linux SysEx Sender and Receiver #10
Comments
Hey @davidpgil, thanks ! In fact I wrote this program because too many people have reported issues with SimpleSysexxer software before, and it was thought to be nice having a replacement. The only regret is that I did not use a traditional UI like Qt, but my dev computer at the time was very weak and using FLTK was more practical; but I'll make it happen maybe. Best. -JPC |
I actually like the look of FLTK. I never even knew about that GUI kit. I was thinking I'd like to try FLTK after using your app. Reminds me of the "good old days" when I used UNIX computers when I was in college. |
I like FLTK also and its appearance, but I if I'm not mistaken it does not support either high-resolution display or accessibility, and it may inconvenience some groups of users. |
Regarding high-resolution support: https://www.fltk.org/doc-1.3/drawing.html "What Drawing Unit do FLTK drawing functions use? When drawing to the display or to instances of Fl_Copy_Surface and Fl_Image_Surface, the unit of drawing functions corresponds generally to one pixel. The so-called 'retina' displays of some recent Apple computers are an exception to this rule: one drawing unit corresponds to the width or the height of 2 display pixels on a retina display" It seems since 1.3.5 high resolution displays are supported: https://www.fltk.org/articles.php?L825 ... im trying to find info on accessibility features in FLTK... having a hard time finding it. I do think this is something that is coming. SUrprising the latest release of FLTK was just this past March. Apologies if I seem too excited by FLTK... I have just been trying to decide which GUI I should learn since I know how to code but have never tried a GUI and I can't decide between QT and GTK and I kind of am learning to hate Python in some ways for making some really old cool stuff seem as it is obtuse. I love old stuff! I just may get going with GUI programming using FLTK <3 |
I spent a few days trying to figure out what is the best free and open source GUI based program for GNU/Linux that can send and receive SysEx dumps with my Behringer RD-8. Sysexxer-NG is the best! Bravo!
