MIDI device names (feature request)

JJupiter

Hi,

I'm using Chuck on MacOSX, and love it!
But, because the sheer goodnes how Mac OS X handles virtual devices, I have a constant changing set of MIDI devices (depending if I have certain software running or not).

The problem that this causes, is that midi device numbers change all the time, chuck --probe gives a new list and numbering.

This means that any chuck I write (mainly concerning OSC and MIDI) is in constant flux how my devices are to be called upon.

Would it not be nice to facilitate some sort of get MIDI device number by name kind of functionallity. This would resolve the issue as the names of my MIDI devices don't change, only theyr numbering.

Please?

Thanks,
JJupiter

I'm a fool, that is, I solved my own question.

All that is necessary is there in Chuck ...

Clever! I like this, I don't think I saw the device name used for anything more advanced the printing for visual feedback before.
