Summary | 0000236: Sequence Play Counter | ||||
Description | Here is something that I thought of earlier that I think would be neat to see. A sequence play counter | ||||
Additional Information | Although it is probably not impossible to implement, it is more complex than I had initially thought. This is because if patterns contain more or fewer than 64 rows, then the counter would need to be updated at the appropriate interval. If a pattern contains more than 64 rows, then the counter would need to be updated on each row number divisible by 64. If a pattern contains fewer than 64 rows, then the counter would need to be updated on the first row (0) of the next pattern rather than 64 minus the length of the previous pattern (e.g., row 33 (32) for going past a 32-row pattern). Based on the true complexity of this feature, it will likely not be implemented, but it certainly wouldn't be implemented unless it was either posted in the issue tracker or the developers thought of it, which they probably hadn't. | ||||

Tested code revision (in case you know it) | |||||
Actually this would be rather easy to implement since OpenMPT can already keep track of how many times a song has looped, but I don't really see the necessity of such a feature, especially since the fractional display of the loop counter would severely slow down track rendering. Integer display (i.e. "looped 2 times") wouldn't be as bad. |
|
That is a good point. An integer count of loops is sufficient. The fractional part is not necessary. By the way, your avatar looks interesting. It looks like a QR code. It looks like that happens with notes in the issue tracker. |
|
It looks like Microsoft tag. |
|
It's neither a QR code nor a Microsoft tag, it's an Identicon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identicon). I don't see how this would be relevant to the feature request, though. |
|
If this feature is implemented, it seems reasonable to place the loop count in the space between where the channel and macro information is and the the row and pattern numbers are on the status bar. |
|
Just out of curiosity, has any more consideration been given to this feature? The application has been updated quite a few times since it was submitted, but I still haven't seen any information regarding this feature. I would still like to see it implemented. It would be helpful for keeping track of pattern numbers (as they could be calculated by multiplying the sequence length by the number of the times it has looped and then adding the currently playing pattern to the result). |
|
has any more consideration been given to this feature Have a guess. Is the issue status "assigned"? |
|
The answer to your question is no. Based on your response, it seems safe to assess that you are not giving any further consideration to this feature and that it will not be implemented for quite a while (if it is implemented at all). |
