New Tool (3.0): CDP lua tool

Had some time during the Easter holidays and have added most of the new processes for the yet to be officially released CDP 8 to the existing definition file, get it here;
definitions.lua (2.4 MB)
Overwrite the definition file in the CDP tools folder with the above. Note that you need to install the new processes in the correct CDP folder first for them to work (and apparently reboot the mac for mac users).

Also, afaik these processes are ‘beta’, but hopefully not much will be changed in the final release (adding new parameters etc) so the official release will keep working with this definition.lua file. I quickly tried out all the new stuff and in typical CDP fashion, the documentation isn’t always clear on parameter limits, so you have to trial and error input. Especially when it comes to data entry in the text boxes (where processes need data files) this can be irritating. Luckily the terminal will give hints on what is wrong. Ideally, as certain parameter settings influence the limits of other parameters, in an utopic future update this could be covered. (e.g; If channel amount in pvoc analysis = 1028, parameter X channel max = pvoc analysis/2 etc).
Hopefully with the help of chatgpt I can try to get some ideas in, and create an update. As the processes list has grown considerably, a search field would be nice to have. Also some kind of recently used list wouldn’t hurt for the favorites. I have enough ideas.

For now, regarding this thread; CDP Wish: A set of CDP functions that 'just work' you could try and make your own version of the definition file, commenting out the stuff you don’t need, putting the for you redundant entries between brackets; --[[ particular not needed process(es) here --]] ,

This way you can make a light version and remove clutter. Some cool stuff and gems to be found for sure :sunglasses: .

edit; check out this link for details about the new processes; CDP8 New
