RE: HISE 4.0 - Wish List - Add yours.
Please make HISE fully compatible with screen readers before adding new fancy features or releasing v4, so that blind users can properly use our existing software.

@ustk yeah, that's what she said.

RE: Facing product download dilemma/issues
@d-healey For you, if you are already on S3 and set up, there would be no advantage.
For somebody new, the advantage of it is that it is a lot simpler and easier to use.I use both for a couple of websites I run, so I am able to compare them.

RE: Facing product download dilemma/issues
@ustk A CDN is not going to compensate for other shortcomings. It should be used in conjunction with and as part of the overall optimization process. I recommend running the tests and checking out the recommendations in browser dev tools.
I've done a fair amount of this over the years. The most critical things that make the biggest impact are the size of images, caching of everything that can be cached, GZIP compression, lazy load of images and videos, and HTTP2 protocol. Of course, a good server is very important.
Years ago, before I delved into all of this, I was working on a website and wondering why it was taking ages to load (50 sec). Then I realized my images were like 1.5MB each Once I brought them down to 120KB each and implemented the other optimizations, the website has been loading instantly ever since.

@clevername27 Then your vote doesn't count. Sorry.

RE: Facing product download dilemma/issues
@clevername27 Have you tried the Digital Ocean CDN?

RE: Facing product download dilemma/issues
@ustk a CDN should be helpful since files are distributed to several "edge" locations around the world and get served to end users from the location closest to them.
The CDN plugin I mentioned here works great. I use it to serve all images, videos, and products from the CDN.
Make sure your website uses HTTP2 protocol, as multiple resources get served at the same time, as opposed to one-by-one, thus speeding up your website.

RE: Facing product download dilemma/issues
@d-healey The plugin is:
https://deliciousbrains.com/wp-offload-media/
It automatically transfers all of your uploaded content from the website over to the CDN and updates the website links to pull assets from the CDN. You can offload any assets from the CDN to be served from your website.
For software distribution, I upload files directly to the Digital Ocean CDN. Unlike Amazon's ridiculous barrage of settings, it is as simple as "private or public" for any file. I set them to "public," as no one actually sees the direct links. The WP plugin, in conjunction with WooCommerce, creates unique links on the fly. The links expire as soon as they are used, but new ones are generated as soon as the user clicks on the download button.
When setting WooCommerce products, I use the CDN endpoint links for each product. You are provided 3 links for each uploaded file by the DO CDN: origin, CDN, and subdomain endpoints.
The WP Offload Media can also be used with Amazon.

RE: Facing product download dilemma/issues
@ustk I have not tried your approach, so I can't advise on such a procedure. However, I can recommend the Digital Ocean's CDN. It is extremely easy to use, affordable and there is a plugin that integrates with WooCommerce.
What @d-healey explained here sounds very good to me if you are utilizing a download manager. As an extra precaution, you can set the maximum number of downloads per product in WooCommerce to, say, 5. Then, if someone needs more, you can manually regenerate download links for them. That would prevent someone from downloading hundreds of times.

RE: Using FS License Manager? Security vulnerability: Update it now to 5.3.2!
@orange Yeah, that's a good point.

RE: Component with name "*" wasn't found- during plugin/app export
@DanH Thanks. The elements are all there. I guess I will have to look very closely to see if I can spot anything out of the ordinary.

Using FS License Manager? Security vulnerability: Update it now to 5.3.2!
I follow some security updates for WP, and in the latest one today, I found out that FS License Manager, which a few of us use, had a security vulnerability that was fixed in v 5.3.2.
However, the developer has not pushed the update to the plugin, so you wouldn't know by looking at your WP-installed plugins.
Go to your Code Canyon account, download the latest version, and manually upload it now.

@d-healey Thanks, Dave. I can't make any sense of it right now.

Component with name "*" wasn't found- during plugin/app export
I use scripts to export my plugins for Windows and Mac. One of my plugins keeps failing to export properly. I have to manually open the AutogeneratedProject in Projucer and compile it in either VS or XCode.
The exported plugin is missing all GUI elements, so it is basically just a black screen.
In the terminal export log, I see the following issue:
Loading the preset...Component with name DmsPanner1 wasn't found. Component with name DmsPanner2 wasn't found. Component with name DmsPanner3 wasn't found. Component with name DmsPanner4 wasn't found. Component with name DmsPanner5 wasn't found. Component with name DmsPanner6 wasn't found. Component with name DmsPanner7 wasn't found. Component with name DmsPanner8 wasn't found. Component with name DmsPanner9 wasn't found. Component with name DmsPanner10 wasn't found. Component with name PercPanner1 wasn't found. Component with name PercPanner2 wasn't found. Component with name PercPanner3 wasn't found. Component with name PercPanner4 wasn't found. Component with name PercPanner5 wasn't found. Component with name PercPanner6 wasn't found. Component with name PercPanner7 wasn't found.
and so on. All GUI components are missing.
How can they not be found? Found where and by what?
The plugin opens fine inside HISE, so this really bogs my mind. Any ideas?

RE: HISE Changes and additions...
@Christoph-Hart I too vote for bug fixes before any new features. I always prefer to have fewer things that are rock-solid and reliable, rather than many features that throw unexpected results.
In the list of bugs waiting to be fixed for a long time is: button registering single clicks as double clicks (double callbacks) when it is a pluginParameter.

RE: FileSystem.findFileSystemRoots() returns no attached drives on MacOS
@Christoph-Hart I am delighted to report that the method you provided here works like a charm! Thank you so much!
For anyone using it, just remember to set the condition that if
Engine.getOS() == "OSX"
use the method above and place those variables as 'var' inside the condition.

RE: FileSystem.findFileSystemRoots() returns no attached drives on MacOS
@Christoph-Hart Thank you. Browsing with a native file browser is not really an option since this is for an integrated file browser
Your solution seems promising. Let me see if I can implement that. I'll report back.

RE: FileSystem.findFileSystemRoots() returns no attached drives on MacOS
@Christoph-Hart So, is this a JUCE bug? Obviously, countless Mac apps can access all connected drives, so this can't be impossible on Mac.
