Had this idea pop into my mind while browsing here. Seems to me that the majority of requests is simply for _______ pedal to be added to the device library. Instead of taking up Ron's valuable time adding what is essentially labels and shortcuts, why not outsource it to the users who care about having _____ pedal in their unit?
My thought is that there could be a new tab in the new editor (assuming it's still coming?) or even a separate lightweight utility where the user can pre-fill out all the information that's currently in the Device menu of the existing editor, and add labels for the different PC/CC numbers. They can then export it as a JSON or something similar, and an import function can be added in so that those device files can be downloaded by other users and added to their PBCs. Should be fairly easy to fill out, and the people that care about having that stuff can add it in themselves and share with others. I imagine it would be easy to add a sub-forum dedicated to posting those files to make it easy for people to find what they need.
Thoughts?
