Do you think "Archicad SOUNDS" need an update?

This wish is for an update to ARCHICAD sounds:

- Give us control of what sounds are associated with each "alert".

- Give us the ability to turn SOUND on/off for each "alert".
I want to hear Teamwork alerts, but don't really need a "BLEEP" every
time I rotate my model in the 3D window.

- A separate volume control for alerts would also be welcome.
I like my music loud (played via my Mac), but not so much for the alerts.

- At the very least, code "enable/disable ARCHICAD sounds" as a
command that we can add as a keyboard shortcut or toolbar icon.
It sucks having to open Work Environment to switch it on/off

You are able to switch ".wav" files into your application files to change alert sounds.

I always think about it, it is a great idea !

Bonjour Christophe:
Where do those files reside? (You're using macOS, yes?)
All I could find was some .aiff files in the system-library-sounds folder.

Archicad 24/Contents/Ressources

To open Archicad you have to di a right clic and select open "show package contents"
You will find any wav files into Ressources folder

It is the same way on Windows devices.

I totally support that request, for many times I tried to push on that issue
A good friend of mine have once told me that I´m so brute that I´m capable of creating a GDL script capable of creating GDLs.

Thank you for that Christophe.
That's better than nothing.
