| Summary | 0000120: Exportable pattern data | ||||
| Description | Let's face it: computer memory is volatile and forever obsolescent. Being a classical composer, my final and most trustworthy backup, no matter what kind of music i'm composing, is a paper copy. One of ModPlug's limitation is that you can't print out pattern data or other extraneous data. "Export to TXT" would be the easiest option to get a hardcopy of your track, whether just for posterity or for offline editing (like if you can't take your desktop to the beach). This feature would save to file (by option) the Sample Slot and Instrument Slot Lists (complete with sample file paths, instrument names, sample map, etc.), the Plugin List (with optional settings listing), the global settings, metadata (like comments), and finally the Pattern Data by Order Index (with an option to set the number of channels per page). Perhaps a separate or future option could allow the user to have it tab-delimited (for opening in EXCEL or OO Spreadsheet), or space-delimited (for simple monospace printing from NotePad). | ||||

Just an idea, save as midi and print of from a notation software? |
|
|
You can already copy all patterns as text to the clipboard, but the rest is something that should rather be implemented through scripting (once this functionality exists) and not as a main part of the program. |
|
|
Closing as there are already partial solutions as mentioned above, and for the rest I feel that it is not OpenMPT's job ("output full sample paths" vs "I want a paper copy because computer memory is volatile" kinda contradicts the purpose of some of the requests anyway). |
