[gnuspeech-contact] Question about Posture Categories window

[David Hill]

[Email exchange with Paul with large attachment removed]

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the fast feedback.

Sorry, I should have expanded the Posture Categories window before taking a screen shot. I have attached an expanded shot. Each posture belongs to its own category, but also belongs to a number of other categories which are indicated by tick boxes. Hopefully this new screen shot clears up any confusion. The Posture Categories window is intended to let the user see easily to which categories a given posture belongs. You can scroll down to see all the postures and the categories to which they belong.

Yes, you are right, the GNUStep version produces a blank window. I just checked. I notice that expanding the window allows a black line at the bottom, starting about there the category boxes should start, to be seen. I don't know why this should be because anything that works in OS X should also work in GNUStep. However, I have discovered that there are a number of ancillary things that worked in the OS X version of "Synthesizer" that are broken in the GNUStep version (for example, the length, Sample Rate and Control Period displays, and trying to alter things that change them crash the system). It is possibly a matter of compiler or library differences and needs investigation and correction. Fixing "Synthesizer" and finding out why some things broke is high on my to-do list. Marcelo might have some insightful comments on the Monet anomalies because he did the initial port to GNUStep.

Warm regards.

The Tools/Posture Categories... window doesn't work in gnustep Monet--I
just see a blank window.

In the osx screenshot, it simply shows a list of posture names with no
additional control buttons.  Is this a launchpad to other windows, and
if so to which window(s)?

I see that posture names in the diphones.mxml file include a
category-ref to their own posture name, as if each posture name defines
a singleton category (not declared in the <categories> section).  Maybe
this window reflects that usage, but I don't understand what Monet
functions this window supports.
