Hey, thanks for version 5! The “recent projects” feature is a total godsend, so thanks so much for that! 😎
I have a few more ideas and comments:
The config file isn’t saved globally, so I have to reconfigure everything from scratch with every new version. Plus, the recent projects always disappear, which is a bit annoying. Of course, you could solve this by keeping the filename consistent, so that as a user you can always overwrite the main executable, and the program uses the config files from the same folder. But I think this might cause new problems when you add new features? 🤔
Playing from a specific position in the “order list” with Shift+F2 is extremely handy, but unfortunately this doesn’t respect the order of the other channels when you use repeat commands like “Rx” or change the pitch in the order list, etc.
The default PLAY command (for the clickable button) should, in my opinion (and perhaps logically), be Shift+F1, so that the cursor follows the current playback position while playing. It might also be a good idea to bind Shift+F2 (play from cursor position) to right-clicking the PLAY button? Perhaps Shift + mouse click on the PLAY button could trigger the 'normal' F1 and F2 functions, where the song doesn't follow the position while playing?
Version numbers like V5 might be a bit confusing as you get to later versions. Now it feels like you're always starting over from scratch (v1.00, v2.00, v5.00, etc.) 🙃
Calling it GoatTracker Enhanced 1.05, etc., might look and feel better. But this is entirely optional, of course 😆
Here's an idea: if your cursor is in the “instrument” section and you click the RECENT button, you should be able to load recent instruments.
I’ve also noticed that if you accidentally resize the window by dragging the edges, the new size is saved even if you quit and restart. I have a hard time resetting it to its original size when that happens 🤣
Keep up the great work! 😎
