Hi,

I use csound for about a month and a half (after a few years of
supercollider and fmod), I chosed csound for the quality of its opcodes and
the fact that it is fully backward-compatible. 

I decided to use CsoundQT for my GUI, because of the graphical quality and
the ease of use and also because it seems to be the official frontend of
csound, despite the fact that important things are missing, like being able
to choose the colors of all the widgets and especially to have the
possibility to have more than one window (for sub-patches) and panels. 

I wanted also to subscribe to the forum/mailing list, but I'm not sure if it
is still in use, or if we should rather ask questions about CsoundQT here. 

The last message from
https://sourceforge.net/p/qutecsound/mailman/qutecsound-users/ is from july
12, 2019, but strangely, the last message that appears at
http://qutecsound-users.829572.n3.nabble.com is from july 12, 2017. 

I am always very careful to separate the code concerning the GUI from the
rest of the .csd, but I am still worried when I read this kind of message:

> fixes and maybe small improvements but I am thinking about a new

What does that really mean? 

Best, 
Bernard

hi bernard -

the csoundqt mailing lists are still active (much less than this list of 
course), and questions about csoundqt should in general go there.  you 
should be able to subscribe at 
https://sourceforge.net/projects/qutecsound/lists/qutecsound-users.

what nabble does is nabble's decision and has nothing to do with the 
actual list.

as to the situation of development in csoundqt: we still benefit from 
andrés cabrera's development which started in 2008 (i think) and had a 
soft end around 2015.  tarmo is doing a great job since then to fix bugs 
and keep csoundqt alive.  i think iit is in general more stable than before.

i think tarmo's statement is clear: he will help to keep csoundqt alive, 
but put more work in CsoundQml.  definitely, Cabbage and Blue are more 
actively developed.  you can see whether you prefer one of those, or 
work in python with the csound api, or ...

in general, i find the changes from one frontend to another not very 
big.  the main code remains the same, and usually the communication with 
the GUI via chnget/chnset.  it is all csound ...
