While I couldn't push the issues forward, thanks to online backup, I now have my Paddy development environment set up on my work laptop again.

I miss the 'woooosh' of the mechanical sliders, though. I have a BCR 2000 that I almost like better now because I have more controllers without switching presets.

So I spent all weekend free time doing Windows stuff and being cranky. That was the machine that got me hooked on MIDI for picture editing in LR 3. Unrelated to LR or Paddy, my development machine crashed. I apologize, but you knew what you were getting into (Sending the Midi values still requires opening the panels first) It will work ultimately, and for those who do not use Midi, the startup will be much faster if you are willing to have the panels pop up on first use. The good news: This will be a good update.Revisiting old routines and wondering 'what did I do there'. But remember, I am in it for the challenge of programming.So, I am in the swamp right now.

Now, I went down a route to make this all much more flexible. Had I kept that long startup process, updated all the indices for the Paddy sliders, I would have been fine. On Paddy, weeeellll.there was the simple way.

turns out, my 12 year old had the right idea - the USB 3.0 drivers on my old motherboard couldn't take some newer hardware. OK, on the computer crash.long story, but fixed it. =>It took 0 (0 overhead) to make makeAdjustmentsPanel =>It took 0 (0 overhead) to make makeDevelopRenderingDebugPanel =>It took 0 (0 overhead) to make makeDevelopOpenNegativeDebugPanel In the past, this kind of stuff was spat out by the beta builds but not by the release Clearly, Adobe is worried about startup times. Here is a trace with a Windows debug utility. It's just not fun at the momentДЄs a side note, I think LR 6 is really what used to be called a beta. Short of that, I will play with a few things going forward but not pushing as hard as I had previously.

So, if somebody out there wants to learn how to use LUA, and write an HTML receiver/sender in LUA for this new Plugin module, I am happy to implement that in Paddy - I would in fact be delighted.

It is a pain in the behind and I am not moving to CC (yet?). Right now, I am concluding that Paddy is not a priority for me. New cool products for professionals that use this start popping up (expensive but cool) Lots of work in my real job, and lots of family stuffД§. Maybe I can make the old tech work, maybe not.

I am not a programmer by trade (nor a professional photographer)ДҐ. I have no inclination to learn LUA as it is super obscure and I am too old for this. Communicating with this would require me to learn a bunch of new things, like how to send HTML requests to Lightroom, receive from Lightroom, and mostly, learn LUAД¤. It's really cool and a sign for more to comeДЈ. This new interface doesn't allow everything, but can influence a lot of the sliders in the panels.Дў. I am sitting here, pondering the following:ДЎ. What was a strength (it worked) now is a weakness (old tech). However, Paddy has traditionally taken a very different course (since this wasn't available before). The friends over at Knobroom will use this it seems. To be clear: you can now write a native plugin that changes the sliders in the develop module. Now for the first time in LR CC, these plugins can influence the slider settings in the develop module. Lightroom always had a way to write 'plugins' in an obscure language called LUA.

Sooooo.Adobe opened up the Lightroom SDK to make adjustments in the develop module.
