Turn off navigation sounds for specific gui controls (especially, sliders)?
#1
Hello everybody, my first post here Smile

Navigation sounds may be fine but they may be annoying when you use a slider control.

It's typical that you keep an arrow key pressed for one second or two until you get the desired "level": in such case, if you have activated navigation sounds in skin settings, you hear the sound repeated a lot of times at high rates, which is horrible!

Try the Audio Mixer addon to have a demo of this issue.

I would like to avoid this - without being compelled to globally turn off sounds in Appearance settings.

There's a way to accomplish a selective exclusion of nav sounds either in GUI XML file or in Python code?

Thanks very much.

you can use this:
Code:
