It's exciting to see Qtractor grow.

Now, the simplest method if you need a sidechain is to create a dedicated bus for the track you want to work on and host the sidechain plugin on that bus. This also allows you to mix the effect with the original signal from the track's fader, even if the sidechain plugin doesn't have an effect mix control.

Thanks a lot!

I've created a QSS to mitigate the unchecked box issue 😏:

1. Remove the unchecked icon, so the user immediately understands that the place to interact is the box.
2. This is reinforced with a hover effect.
3. If you click on the icon, it flashes, indicating that if you click it, it will stay there.

/* AuxSendIOMatrixForm */
qtractorAuxSendIOMatrixForm QTableWidget::item:hover {
  background: palette(highlight);
}
qtractorAuxSendIOMatrixForm QRadioButton::indicator {
  width: 8px;
  height: 8px;
  margin: 0;
  padding:0;
}
qtractorAuxSendIOMatrixForm QRadioButton::indicator::unchecked {
  background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);
}
qtractorAuxSendIOMatrixForm QRadioButton::indicator::checked {
  background: #000000;
}
qtractorAuxSendIOMatrixForm QRadioButton::indicator::checked:pressed {
  background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 125)
}

I'm not going to dwell on this topic, but... I still think we should find a less confusing way to implement it, regardless of where you click on the box.
Click = if active, deactivate; if not, active.
