[gmpi] Re: lost-n-found #3 parameter stuff

atof() and string-based queries to the plugin does not allow the host to present a hot text, which is a problem in my view.

IMHO, it can be handy that users are allowed to type in parameters (so
not only display).


Sure, but it doesnt require any specification, the UI can just provide a
textbox.


Of course, and that's the point I was trying to make ;-)
Please talk me through this:
- so let's say the host UI provides a textbox
- the user types in some characters in that textbox
- how does the host communicate a new parameter value to the plugin, when it
has only the string given by the user?



using atof() ;) seriously, this is not hard, many LADSPA hosts do this
today.
