This morning I was running a bunch of coasters to give away as prizes at our park volunteer training, and once again I was a bit annoyed by the end-of-job sound on the two galvos I was running simultaneously. I know from the previous time this came up that the sound is a single sound baked into the executable with no way to change it, and I know there’s already a feature suggestion generally about it:
The thing is, it really does make my experience using LightBurn slightly but noticeably worse having only one sound versus what it would be in a world where I had some number more than one, and I’m sure I’m not the only such user. The population of people running multiple galvos simultaneously, on the other hand, is always going to be considerably less than even the general galvo-using population of LightBurn users.
I was just wondering, in theory with no commitment, how difficult would it be to, perhaps, just bake in… let’s say… three end-of-job sounds and add a UI element (in the machine settings?) to select between them? If it’s not something likely to be a huge time sink, could there be any way to get the idea onto a dev’s “Well, I don’t want to start something deep this late on a Friday…” list? (I don’t know that all devs have such a list, but I know I definitely do.) I mean, if it’d help, I’d gladly send along a genuine Louisiana king cake to show my appreciation. 
I know it’s really low on the priority list, and I don’t expect we have nearly enough affected users who are also on the forums to amplify the request and vote up the feature suggestion in fider. I certainly do not want anyone to think I’m trying to jump the line and take away dev time from far more meritorious, more impactful, and more widely useful work. Just if it’s something that would be pretty trivial to implement (just providing a few baked-in sounds instead of the one), I wouldn’t want it not to exist just because nobody had ever really thought about it (or thought about it that way).
Anecdote: One of my projects is a bespoke Helpdesk system for our couple dozen techs, ~5000 staff, and 40k students’ families. Occasionally, I’ll hear one of our techs complaining about something trivial, like having to do an extra step before saving or some such, and within minutes, I’ve fixed the issue with a trivial patch. It annoys the tar out of me when I think about how much cumulative annoyance has resulted from such a trivial issue existing, sometimes for years, when it could have been ameliorated with trivial effort at any point if it just came to my attention.
I don’t know whether the potential for baking in just a very small plural number of sounds would be in the “uh, utterly trivial” or “well, actually more difficult than it would seem” bins, but if it’s in the former, the cumulative benefit would eventually compound to make it worthwhile, and if I could gently and graciously do the psst-look-over-there eyebrows to help it along, it would make my life more pleasant in a very small but significant way.
Also I’m not really completely joking about the king cake. If it’d make a dev smile to have edible appreciation, bribing with food does seem like a valid Louisiana tradition.
