Show last selector list item

[sunmachine]

When you fill a long selector list by selecting item after item from the plug-in's parameter list using Auto-fill, it would be helpful when the selector list scrolls up automatically so that you always see the last added item.

Can the Auto-fill feature be made a real auto-fill? Meaning that it fills the list automatically with all available values? This would be a real time-saver!

Thanks!

Yes it's a good idea.

About the auto-fill, it's not so easy because the parameter value is a float from 0.0 to 1.0 and I have no idea about the values really supported by the plug-in. In a previous version I was scanning from 0.0 to 1.0 with a step value of 1/65536, and tracking parameter text value change to identify key values. But it's not working for all plug-ins and can take a while... Learning values from GUI changes is more efficient. However I can include again the value scan in the popup menu if it can be useful in some cases.

Hmmm... yes, it could be faster than manually adding big lists. But if it's not working always as expected users might think that it's buggy.

What do you think about renaming Auto-Fill to Add selected item or something like that?
I was about to file a bug report because I thought Auto-Fill was broken since it didn't automatically fill the list.

Right
