Thanks for the information, this all sounds very good, and I'm looking forward to trying it.

I only have one question. In my view, the main problem with csound5gui is that it remembers settings from the last session, and does not parse out the settings from the csd file. 

How hard would it be for you to add this feature? In other words, when you select a csd file in csound5gui, the program would load the csd file, parse out the command line options, and populate the GUI with the results. 

Similarly, when you change the options in csound5gui, it would change the options in the csd file itself.

This would be more useful to those of us who typically work on more than one project at a time. Perhaps it could also be an option to choose the old behavior or this new behavior.

Let me know what you think.

Regards,
Mike

Hi Michael,
I think Csound5gui approaches things in a different way. You can save
different settings (e.g for realtime low and high latencies, different
k-rates or different audio/MIDI devices) in a section called Csound
Performace presets. This makes a lot of sense to me. Do most of your csd
files contain very different CsOptions? I can't quite picture a workflow
where this happens. What I've done is add an option (which is on by
default), which disables reading the CsOptions tag. That way, you always
use the settings for csound5gui. I guess csound5gui places more
importance on local machine options than on csd specific options.
I think parsing the CsOptions to be read by csound5gui wouldn't be all
that hard (the design of csound5gui by Istvan is very clear and
organized - any dirtyness in the new version is probably by me =) ), but
right now I'm a bit swamped, and can't have a look for a while. There
are also other things I would like to add, but they will also have to
wait...

Cheers,
Andrés
