Question: Does the "tone" of feedback/requests impact your desire to act on it? Or do you just take whats relevant and discard the "noise"?
Asked by Slint (69.172.149.x) on July 5 2015, 6:24am
Reply on July 5 2015, 8:29pm:
    Of course! How couldn't the tone/delivery of feedback affect how the feedback is received? Having said that, clarity and thoughtfulness of the feedback is probably more important than tone, but it all matters.

Question: Do you want to make a Android or IOS app?
Asked by KoderZ (221.141.34.x) on July 4 2015, 3:44pm
Reply on July 5 2015, 8:29pm:
    I've made some iOS apps for personal use, but haven't bothered with going through the hoops to get them published (especially since they would just be lost in the app store anyway).

Question: Dou you have fresh new ideas for software? Because i am stuck and dying, can't think of anything.
Asked by navian (78.130.223.x) on July 1 2015, 12:04pm
Reply on July 3 2015, 1:38pm:
    Occasionally, but they all tend to be services rather than pure software, and require a lot of busy work... so laziness and procrastination prevail! If you want ideas for a apache/PHP/mysql/etc web site, let me know...

Question: That's very programmer thing to say, haha (GoT)...I presume you're talking about books, not series?

    No, the show -- I don't really care to read the books, I vastly prefer science fiction to fantasy. Really enjoying Iain M. Banks' Culture series, which schwa recommended to me.

Question: Do you like Game of Thrones?

    Yeah more or less, it could be about 35% shorter without much loss though.

Question: Sorry to permeate this. Basically what annoys me that when plugins open a file dialog, they never remember the folder they are supposed to look for in files, they always use the last opened folder (even if you opened it with a different plugin). So that makes for a lot of folder hopping. I was hoping that DAW can catch the plugin's fopen() call and point it

    Yeah, it's more complicated than that, but the short answer is there's not a lot we can do to prevent the plug-in from doing this. At least, reliably. In theory we could hook various APIs, but it would really be difficult and probably cause certain plug-ins to fail.

Question: Yes, but that works only when using Reaper's preset browsing (the "+" button next to preset name). I'm talking about load/save operations triggered from within plugin's GUI - not Reaper's preset manager. :)
Asked by EvilDragon (141.138.40.x) on June 26 2015, 5:09pm
Reply on June 26 2015, 10:01pm:
    Ahh. yeah I don't know of any way to do that, presumably the plugin(s) could...

Question: Is it possible to override and redirect plugin's call for file open dialog (loading FXP/FXB usually)? Currently Reaper only remembers the last such folder opened by a plugin, so when you use another plugin's file open dialog, you have to browse to another folder first... Annoying and slows workflow.
Asked by EvilDragon (89.164.109.x) on June 23 2015, 2:08pm
Reply on June 26 2015, 1:38pm:
    Hmm for FXP/FXB it should remember the path per-plugin, does it not for you? The relevant setting is in [fxpdir] of reaper-vstfxppath.ini.

Question: Silicon Valley is funny as hell but nobody can reAlly be that nerdy. Don't you think they kinda overdid the stereotype if the needy coders who can't get laid? :)

Reply on June 16 2015, 5:31pm:
    Well, there are tons of things that are exaggerated in that series... That's the point, taking it to the absurd.

Question: Are you aware of the fact that what WT did for R5 theme is horribly inconsistent and simply not that good? Mark my words, Reaper's GUI will once again be a negative point in reviews. How can you not care?
