Alrighty, hopefully I am not boring you too much with the screenshots for the upcoming Xounds 2. ;)
Again, based on lots of internal meetings and your feedback here on .org, the GUI is slightly reworked as compared to yesterday's state, and I think it became much more functional now:
First of all, the bubbles are back. They are of different color now, and only present on the draggable objects; therefore, groups and Xoundsets that couldn't be dragged do not have a bubble (and all the assigned sounds on the top table, for that matter).
Aside from some cosmetic improvements like double-click in the table row playing the represented sound, another major new thing is 'Smart Picks' table which can be found in the bottom right corner. The idea is very simple. You click on anything in the top table (Disk Eject in this case), and Smart Picks shows you all the sounds in all soundsets that match the selection. Quite handy if you want to compare sounds from different Xoundsets, and do other mix-and-match stuff.
All in all, this is a nice collaboration on the GUI design -- you and us together make a good team. ;) Now give us all your money and we'll give you all ours. Nevermind.

You'll hate me for saying this, but you can do better! There needs to be some innovation. This just looks like a messy interface I would find in a windows sound app. I have a few ideas I'll share with you later ;-)
Don't accept lest that a little bit of good 'ole innovation.
Posted by: Court Kizer on August 13, 2003 9:33 PMThere's one thing that does look a little funky and has been bugging me for the last 2 screenshot revisions. In the top section there is an inconsistency with the highlighted line. In one column the reverses out, while the other column it stays black.
I might suggest going reversed out for whole shebang! Lookin' good othewise.
Posted by: kcjones76 on August 14, 2003 11:58 AMI think it's brilliant! Can't wait for the final....tho one thing....will this be a free upgrade for existing users? Not that $7 isn't a problem :) LOL
Looks good... i just need more soundsets I guess I better pull out the CDs from the archives or maybe make more... BUT anyway is there a ¼ hour chime function? That's what I want, that chime function that was once in the OS and will , I think I saw in a Panther screen capture, again soon.
But till then and with a all inclusive grouping for sounds in Xounds :)
