It's just for Labels that were set to saveInPreset=true, but I actually changed it so that all controls also restore the value.

Should be OK now.

Yes if you can create a minimal example that crashes, I'll take a look.

@Christoph-Hart ok... I already use the ladder, I just wanted another color in order to implement two filters at the same time in my synth

Hello,

Thanks for your help. I just removed the metadata with Windows and it does not change anything.

@Christoph-Hart Bump bump

The only work around I've found so far is to move all of the controls out the panel. But I really don't want to do this as I'm using the panel's enabled property to control the enabled state of a lot of controls. If I get rid of the panel them I'm going to have to set the state of each control individually.

yep needs to be png lol

Yeah. This is confusing. There should be "save as" option and just one reliable format for saving a HISE project file (whatever the format may be). This is standard on most software.

@Christoph-Hart I narrowed down the cause of the crashes. It has to with the code of the project. While it works in the stand-alone version, it crashes the plugin. I believe that this is part of the code that causes the crash:

settingsPanel.setContentData(channelData); settingsPanel2.setContentData(audioSettingsData); settingsPanel3.setContentData(midiInput);

@Jay It is how the pop-up panels are initiated. Get rid of that code and the project should open up.

I ended up rebuilding the entire project from scratch within the HISE plugin. I copied and pasted elements from standalone version and once I came across those elements, issues started to happen. I utilized different solution to display pop-ups, that Christoph provided in another post.

Still having glitchyness with this. HISE is instantly crashing when trying to save a particular sample map as a monolith.

@Christoph-Hart Ah, that was it, thank you!

@d-healey I get the same "jumping" phenomenon here as well, running latest build from source code.

The XML recovery isn't working.

Here is the .hip file. I had to change the extension to mp3 so it would upload (maybe .hip should be an allowed upload format).

irishWhistles.mp3
irishwhistles.hip (done ;) )

Here is the recovered (invalid) XML. This is missing lots of things.

The recovery file is written to the presets folder but when you use File >> Open XML it defaults to the XmlPresetBackups folder, so maybe that would be a better location to place the recovery xml.

@d-healey Thanks for the suggestion. Debian has back in time... I just made zip files of the most important folders. It's all good I had copies of everything and restored everything back to working order. My apologies for freaking out.

Seems to be an OS issue. I just edited the import code to disable the native file browser and multi-selection worked fine. So I don't think there is much that can be done about it.
