Note: These suggestions have been made by Snu.

General Notes:

• auto save really should have an option to save files without including the samples


• maybe some outdated settings could be removed from the sound card section, such as 'max polyphony' (seriously? that really hasnt mattered since the days of pentium 1s) [I disagree --saga], and preamp, and soft panning


• overall, the dialog really should be larger, at least in width

Proposal 1, tabs:


keyboard layout

• basically the same as 'keyboard' tab, just the import/export buttons should be at the top or bottom
  

• includes the 'sound quality' section from the 'player' tab,


• includes everything from the 'sound card' tab


• 'no loud samples' setting from general tab (maybe?)


• 'enable sound effects' check, and 'settings' button opening up a sub-dialog with:
  
  
  • includes 'control' section from the 'player' tab
  
  
  • includes everything from the 'equalizer' tab

• divided into two sections, 'pattern' and 'general'


• pattern section includes:
  
  
  • includes elements from the colors tab
  
  
  • includes some settings from the general tab:
    
    
    • display rows in hex
    
    
    • show prev/next patterns


• general section includes:
  
  
  • settings from general tab:
    
    
    • use large font for comments
    
    
    • flat buttons
    
    
    • update sample status in tree

• settings from general tab:
  
  
  • always center active row
  
  
  • cursor scroll mode: stop, wrap, advance
  
  
  • drag and drop editing
  
  
  • overflow paste mode
  
  
  • old style context menu
  
  
  • follow song off by default
  
  
  • reset channels on loop
  
  
  • ignored muted channels (as "mute mode" dropdown combo / radio buttons --saga)
  
  
  • maintain sample sync on mute
  
  
  • single click to expand tree


• includes settings from the update tab

• includes settings from the midi tab, 'midi recording' section


• settings from general tab:
  
  
  • midi record
  
  
  • record key up as: none, note off, note fade (radio buttons)
  
  
  • automatic delay commands
  
  
  • play new notes while recording
  
  
  • play whole row while recording

• includes settings from 'auto save' tab


• includes 'create backup files' setting from 'general' tab


• includes default directories settings from 'general' tab


• default mod type (maybe with an option to always use the default, even if a module is open) or template to use

keyboard layout - same as proposal 1
sound - same as proposal 1
pattern settings

  • includes some settings from the general tab:

• behavior:
