[ANN] The QStuff* Pre-LAC2018 Release Frenzy!

Post by rncbc »

Aye!

The Qstuff* Pre-LAC2018 release frenzy is now officially started...
Enjoy the first batch, more to come!


** QjackCtl - JACK Audio Connection Kit Qt GUI Interface **
  • QjackCtl 0.5.1 (pre-lac2018) is released!

    Image
QjackCtl is a(n ageing but still) simple Qt application to control the JACK [7] sound server, for the Linux Audio infrastructure.

Website:

https://qjackctl.sourceforge.io

Project page:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/qjackctl

Downloads:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/qjackctl/files

- source tarball: - source package: - binary packages: - AppImage packages: Git repos: Change-log:
- Half a decade later, recent new custom entries may now get removed from Session Infra-client list.
- Some rather old, better said "Cambric explosion era", user preference options have been ditched altogether: Display / Time Format; Display / Shiny glass light effect; Display / Connections/Draw connections and patchbay lines as Bezier curves; Misc/Configure as temporary server.
- A brand new and way long overdue connections Graph widget is finally introduced, only to be accessible through the context menu at this time.
- Extended multi-selection is now supported on all Connections client/port lists, allowing for multiple (dis)connections at once.
- Disable singleton/unique application instance setup logic when the display server platform is not X11.
- A little hardening on the configure (autoconf) macro side.

qjacktl is very robust as provided by my general purpose distro and I will enjoy the new features in the not so near future...

That said, thank you very much for creating and maintaining these wonderful and useful applications!

thanks Pablo,

make sure you check the new Graph thingy -- it's there lurking now and will supersede the other Connections thang, in a not so far future ;)

no, you don't really need to look into the systray icon, whatever: just right-click on main window and you'll get that (so called context-) menu -- as ever since more than 10y+ ago :)

Thank you for Qjackctl. It is so helpfull. Only three things I miss in it - buffer switching on the fly, jack profile choosing on the start button and easy addition of soundcards, to not call them by alsa_in/alsa_out.

Cool! I prefer the Bezier Curves and I thought I wouldn't see them anymore after reading the change-log: :lol:

Code: Select all

ditched altogether: Display / Connections/Draw connections and patchbay lines as Bezier curves
But this seems to be a bigger X thing :D
