[specimen] 1 or 2 ideas + willing

[james jwm-art net]

Ok, I've wanted to contribute something to another project besides my
own in the linux audio world for some time and specimen seems a good
candidate being fairly small and using GTK - which I know a little bit.

So here's a few ideas which I think I could manage to impliment:

cut & cut by

  user needs to know patch number - display number in patch_list
                                    beside patch name.

  display patch name (if possible) by patch number when selecting
  patch to cut/cut by.

patch list

from using specimen, i've often wanted a right-click context popup menu
instead of going to the main menu.

(remember: my knowledge of gtk is slim)

some thoughts:

   existing code uses "changed" signal which does not indicate which
   mouse button pressed ( ie does not pass GdkEvent to callback (?) )

   "popup-menu" signal is possible candidate for alternative but
    requires patch menu creation moved from existing location
   (gui init) into func.

   maybe remove patch menu completely and replace with icon buttons
   much like gimp layers dialogue - and maybe remove patch editor
   from main window to be invoked by selecting a patch and choosing
   edit?

there again you could just suggest something you'd prefer me to do
(apart from tooltips :p ).
