the so called "direct access feature" does only affect one and only one

plugin parameter at a time, that being an implementation/design

limitation due to the fact that the provided slider widget is scalar and

1-dimensional by nature o.O
to tweak more than one parameter simultaneously, for what i'm curious on

how you actually could do just that with one 1-dimensional slider, i'll

assume you're asking for simultaneous access over the same display

space, then look at the generic plugin dialog (plugin/properties) or the

plugin own gui editor (plugin/edit), if any.

someone steps up with a patch or sth... ;)

too bad it looks like it's gtk2. i'm sure someone could rip it off as a

qt4 widget and drop it in without much brain-sweat, someone with a lot a

time to spare? ;)
don't take me wrong. i love the ideas
