DSDPlus DSDPlusUI

[scriptguru]

@Annunaki great UI, I'm very impressed!
I'm also happy that even though we haven't talked about it, our UI versions are not overlapping at all (yours is for PC, mine is for tablets - no effort wasted.
I love the dark theme, I wanted to do the same in my UI and I wish I could easily do the same with AutoIt (there is no direct theme support AFAIK so I'd need to set every single colour separately).

I'd really suggest making it open source just so that anyone can see what's actually inside (in our age of malware and spyware) and make improvements (in our age of Github), but that's just my opinion.

What you've done looks very good and is an appreciated gift to the community. It's definitely more convenient than looking into printed out manual every time you want to adjust something in DSD+

Thank you for the kind words it certainly has been a fun ride developing DSDPlusUI especially being my first program ever! It is developed in delphi using RAD studio Community Edition which does actually support multi platform builds and is compiled natively with Touch elements for tablets so I see no reason why DSDPlusUI would not work with tablets.

I am actually working on custom themes at the moment the user can change from within the program which is being a bit funny at the moment so who knows in the future when I have it right the user will be able to adjust to their liking.

I initially thought this but in the end went in the direction of closed source, I had false positives initially because I was packing my exe with an open source packer (UPX) but now I dont bother packing which has resolved the false positive and to date as of release 37 over 400 people have downloaded the program.

Thanks I hope that some time in the future I can pull some function statuses from DSD+/FMPx with maybe some API without being invasive and accessing the program memorys so I can add some visual feedback to my UI but that remains to be seen.

@Annunaki My UI is reading current frequency, step, gain and bandwidth from the FMP24 spectrum window title using regular expressions. It's something you can very easily add.

I have the latest version installed and all is working well.

i'm not sure if delphi can do it, im sure it can though. my idea is maybe have the program check to see if there is multiple instances of dsd and or fmp running and show the path next to it, then have a box with check mark choices like you have for other things to select which path of dsd to control. you can then get the process id's from that or the proper dsd/fmp to send the commands to.

@mrc333777,
You give a very good idea !

 

[Annunaki]

Sorry I have been a bit quiet with the project due to some busy life events at the moment but I am still working with the project on and off.

Here is a tease for the next version

@Annunaki,
Become professional layout
Many or less experience users, will like this development.
Because DSD need some study to config, DSDui will promote the use and registration for DSDFastlane.
Thank You !

DSDPlusUI 1.0.1.37 released.

DSDPlusUI

 

[W4KRR]

Just downloaded 1.0.1.37.
There's no "Front End" window present on my setup.
Pressing the "Mute" button causes the word "Mute" to appear in the FMPA title bar, but it doesn't actually mute the audio.

Did you press the Front End button in the upper right corner?

Have you pressed the Front End button to open the window?

I'm not entirely sure how the Mute function works in FMPx, all DSDPlusUI does is forward keystrokes to DSD+ and FMPx but if Mute is shown on the title bar and is not working as expected then this is an FMPx issue which I have no control over.

EDIT: Disregard

Did you press the Front End button in the upper right corner?

Yes, I just found it. So disregard the "Front End" part of my message.
