Maximize window = waveform expand

drumkv1

I've modified the .ui files (attached in waveform-expand.zip) for DrumkV1 and SamplV1 so that when the window is maximized, the waveform expands to its maximum. It's not only useful, but also aesthetically pleasing.

It would also be helpful if the "Elements" and "GEN1" had a QSplitter to further expand the waveform once you're focused on working with a specific element... but I haven't been able to achieve this yet.

I think you’ve hit the mark again.
An extra button isn't necessary; that is the right place and method to activate the feature.

Thanks to you.

As for the text, since it is now directly linked to the "element," there is no need to mention it anymore; what is relevant to mention is who is doing the selecting.

"Auto selected by MIDI"

In the end, I think that’s the phrase that always described it best.

PS
An icon is not necessary either; it would be confusing without providing any additional information.

I think that covers everything.

There are a few other things in drumkv1 that I think would be feasible and would improve workflows.

I’ll do the same as I did with this last one... I’ll try to develop them myself—even if it’s a bit of a hack job—and once they’ve been tested in real-world scenarios, I’ll propose them to you.

If you end up seeing the value in them and they get implemented properly, great; if not, I’ll just stick with my own patches.

But that’s for next time :).

In gif...

You don't need to search for the item in the list to select it; MIDI selects it automatically.
I’ve done this without maximizing the window and with the list visible, so you can see it more clearly.
However, the list is no longer essential, so it is much more precise to edit the waveform maximize the window and do without the list.

drumkv1 git head and in the same vein on samplv1 too.

please test and tell your thoughts.

ps. this will demand some new "official" screenshots, if accepted, so please take a deep breath ;)

I'm glad that, in the end, you both saw the advantages of this layout.

Thanks!!!

Tomorrow I'll run some tests and take some screenshots.

PS
I agree about the most visible points.

They have become a bit divas. What if that light doesn't favor me, what if I raise the focus, what if I don't bring the camera so close that you can see the circles under my eyes, what if a dress with QSS is not a dress.. Anyway, that's what it's like to work with the stars.

SamplV1 is angry with Drumkv1:
-Who do you think you are to have melodic instruments now?!!! He abruptly blurted out mid-session. The rest of us were shocked, except DrumkV1 who showed an expression of total indifference.

Well, they gave me the afternoon... but here are the photos.

With logo XD

PS
SamplV1 looks incredible now.
