What does timer slider do? about android-app

Editing is by design

I guessed that, thanks for confirming and further info (:

The save button appears when u change sections. I was doing some further tests but couldnt replicate.

I am sorry for the confusion. I've been thinking of adding descriptive text to the app to help users understand features better. The timer slider adjusts the upper bound in the delay between repetition of non-looping sounds. The minimum delay is fixed at about 30 seconds. At each repetition, a delay is randomly chosen that is guaranteed to be at least equal to minimum delay, i.e. 30 seconds.

PS, I am adding this to the feature list for 0.8.x.

Awww, thats a nice implementation - random amount of delay, and ability to define the range. Thats why (randomness) I couldn't know it myself though.

As for the descriptive texts, i would say that maybe that will require many things which may add clutter to UI/code. So, how about giving a link to a page?? The page can be hosted here!!

That way:

• the description can be updated fairly easily
• no effect (okay, not much effect) on the apps size and structure
  - they will come to know the repository (idk if thats wanted though)

OT: is there somewhere i can talk/chat with u directly (if thats allowed) ?

Thanks for the doc, but it was not much related to the issue. Just informing to not keep u waiting (:

Have a nice rest man. Gute Nacht :)

Yeah sure man. I'll delete the doc in that case. About the concern regarding the clutter in the UI, I am open to implementing both ideas. A more in depth explanation can live on the web while short descriptive tips can popup in the app. I think the middle ground really does live up to the user experience. But that being said, I don't really have time to make detailed write up as of now and community around this project is still too small. I'll see what I can do but not promises.

Also, good night :)

Just found out (and posting here for posterity's sake) that if a preset is playing, the parameters of its components can still be edited in library. (i dont know if they will be saved for next time though)

[ashutoshgngwr]

@yashpalgoyal1304 Yes. Editing is by design and no, they are not saved. You'll have to explicitly save the changes to a new preset. On a side note, I came across a bug about a few days ago where save preset button doesn't appear if you play a preset and then adjust a sound's volume or repetition time period.
