Sorry but what the F* is this?

Code: Select all

<Shortcut name="Shortcut" uniqueId="1696028916855" paramNodeName="" behaviour="1028" inputDeviceName="APC MINI" outputDeviceName="APC MINI">
			<ShortcutPath name="InputPath" path="/composition/layers/1/clips/2/connect" translationType="1" allowedTranslationTypes="11"/>
			<ShortcutPath name="OutputPath" path="/composition/layers/1/clips/2/connect" translationType="1" allowedTranslationTypes="11"/>
			<ShortcutPath name="InputSiblingPath" path="/composition/layers/1/clips/2/connected" translationType="1" allowedTranslationTypes="-1"/>
			<ShortcutPath name="OutputSiblingPath" path="/composition/layers/1/clips/2/connected" translationType="1" allowedTranslationTypes="-1"/>
			<RawInputMessage key="83287645563650448" value="0" numSteps="128"/>
			<NamedValues>
				<Value first="Connected" second="0.039370078740157479769"/>
				<Value first="Connected &amp; previewing" second="0.047244094488188975722"/>
				<Value first="Disconnected" second="0.0078740157480314959537"/>
				<Value first="Empty" second="0"/>
				<Value first="Off" second="0"/>
				<Value first="Previewing" second="0.015748031496062991907"/>
			</NamedValues>
		</Shortcut>
How would a normal person BULK EDIT values in a midi map? (without resorting to regex and/or whatnot)
Or are you telling me I need to do (at the moment) 128+ manual edits inside Resolume just because... why????
If to collapse all ranges in VSCode, one sees only necessary (read: useless) rows with information like Shortcut name="Shortcut", uniqueId=.. and behaviour="1028"... what is the benefit of this?
Why are midi values presented in what seems to be a normalized float? wtf?
And WHY is EVERYTHING in TOTALLY RANDOM order?

This seems like a deliberate mess idk :roll:

Moreso, Resolume just doesn't update the map (when editing outsidE) and then simply overwrites the file (with old values) when you reload the comp or don't close the whole program inbetween :lol:

Now THIS is just very sh*t UX, sorry guys

What gave you the impression that the files were meant to be edited outside of Resolume in the first place?
