controller mappings with identical names in combobox

[Foss-4]

otherwise it's not possible for users to differentiate between local preset and actual preset.

Maybe we can append (user) so the distinction is
(user) vs. (official)
While (official) is displayed only if a modified version exists

Or take up as little space as possible (and reduce the number of strings to translate) by just marking user/local presets with a leading asterisk (*) and place text under the drop-down to the effect of "* user-modified version"

This is a interface related bug. Fix or move?

[Be (be.ing)]

I am not clear what you are asking. We should fix this for 2.1. I don't think it's feasible to come up with a solid solution in the next 2 days for the initial beta release, but it should be fixed for the final release.

[Daniel Schürmann (daschuer)]

OK

[Sébastien BLAISOT (sblaisot)]

My heart say "fix it". Then I remember we should be in ui and string freeze.

So I'm in the middle.

Be pointed me here due to a related but (I feel) different issue. I am creating a mapping from scratch so only have xml and js files in the user directory with the name/description etc. If I edit the Action within Mixxx instead of saving over the old file it is creating a new file and then both are showing up under the original name in the list.

Personally I feel this should be writing over the original file.

As to how to distinguish between default and user installed: I would say appending (user) to the user installed/edited ones and leaving the system ones as they are would work.

And if new files continue to be created upon editing within Mixxx then maybe make it (user:filename) for those with more than a single entry. But I really can't understand why you are doing this in the first place.

[Be (be.ing)]

I think there are two changes needed for a good solution to this issue:
1. Distinguish local from system mappings in the mapping selection combobox.
2. Only save a mapping to the user folder if it has been modified by the user.
