Summary | 0009718: Feature: Show message/banner on project start | ||||
Description | I'm working on some courses and I'm creating templates for all my students. I would like to show some notes when you open the project/template for the first time. As you can also put comments on channels I think the easiest way to do it would be creating an option like: "Show Master Channel Comments on start" And a check to not showing it again in the future. If there's no comments, this option will be ignored. | ||||

I like the idea, and it's relatively simple to do this unconditionally. Yet the following conditions are tricky: "when you open the project/template for the first time." and "a check to not showing it again in the future." For templates there already is a large comment area in the session dialog. This leaves existing sessions. Since the session already exists there is no way to determine how often it has been opened by a given user. Also we generally avoid "do not show this dialog again" messages. One option I can think of is to make this a Session Property. So there is a per-session setting, which a user can disable. |
|
PS. you can already do this using a Lua Script. You can trigger a script on Session load, which then shows a dialog window (and check a file in the session folder if to show the dialog again) |
|
I've implemented a Prototype.. Session > Properties > Misc .. has an option to show the master-bus comment the next time the session is loaded. Available since Ardour 8.6-252-gacb5feec4a |
|
wow, that was really fast. I didn't realize you can do it with Lua, I'll check it if I can find time to compile it. |
|
You can also try a https://nightly.ardour.org/ build. tomorrow's build ( 8.6.255 or later) will also have a checkbox in the master bus' comment box. |
