We are sorry that you have reasons to dislike our software. The windows of the program are at a fixed location because there are so many to deal with at any given time.
Applescript, being a low-level compiler does not allow expediency when moving several windows at the same time and the user would see a major lag when dragging from one location to another.
During our initial coding phase, we discovered that the windows, while at a fixed location, served a much better purpose being fixed, than being dragged around one at a time. Eventually, we do see this changing.
A help file is in the making and will soon be ready for attachment to the program. Until then, we had decided to utilize the Tool Tips for each button so as to give some clarity to the usage. If you hover your mouse pointer over each button, you can see the description.
During the initial startup of the Demo, a window opens to let the user know that the first two channels of each section are the active channels. We are sorry if you may have clicked on the OK button of this window to soon, but if you restart the program, you will see the note concerning which channels of the demo are active.
Please let us know if there are other suggestions that you may find.
Thank you for trying and for commenting.
