Bug Description

Not all skins have yet the feature to select the current quick effect.
This makes the 2.4 branch unusable for some users during the transition until the new effect GUI is in place.

As a band aid, I propose to revert the changes in the EQ preferences. This way we break the users workflow only once, at the later point after when we have all skins in shape.

I actually recommended to keep the Quick effect default selector at the EQ preferences. As developer I know that the filter is not an EQ but as a regular user this difference is not to obvious. If you for instance think to the play differently EQ, the boundaries are blurring even more.

We have already discussed how to use the filter/quick effect button for a 4 parameters EQ. A possible solution will likely have preference options at the EQ.

We are here in good companion with Traktor Pro:

where the Filter is selected in the Mixer pane and not in the Effects pane.

Please stop suggesting going backwards and repeatedly bringing up ideas that have already been rejected. This is not helpful and comes across as somewhat insulting. If the lack of ability to select the Quick Effect chain preset in some skins bothers you, then help add the new widgets to skins.

status: New → Confirmed

summary: - No way to select the quick effect with the effects_refactoring branch

No one has yet jumped in to implement the GUI. This is much work and will not happen over night.
We need this change for a smooth transition.

Seriously? I don't think it is appropriate to remove me here.
