Last hurdle: Does anyone know how to make a simpler drop down menu that displays the user presets?

[Delamere]

Just looking for something simple.

A drop down menu that displays the Default Preset & user presets, where you can scroll through the list and select a preset. No overwrite or save prompt/option, it just loads the preset you select. Then when you've modified it to your liking you can save it as a new preset with a Save As button.

@Delamere You can use Engine.getUserPresetList() to get an array of the presets which you can use to populate your combo box.

And you can use Engine.loadUserPreset to load the selected preset.

@d-healey Okay thanks for the reply, is it possible to create a Save As Button that gives the option to save as a new Preset, not overwrite the current one?

[David Healey]

@Delamere Yes, it's a little bit more complicated though because you'll need to use the preset handler. I made a video about this on Patreon. https://www.patreon.com/posts/creating-custom-82583366

@d-healey Okay thanks.

@d-healey I have set this up, and the ComboBox shows the User Presets. But when you select a preset, it says it doesn't exist and doesn't load like it does in the PresetBrowser. Any idea why?

Show me your code. I suspect the file path is wrong.

@d-healey

Content.makeFrontInterface(260, 50);

const var Preset_Browser = Content.getComponent("Preset_Browser");

inline function onPresetSelected(component, value)
{

    local Selected_Preset = component.getItemText();
    Console.print(Selected_Preset);
    Engine.loadUserPreset(Selected_Preset);

}

Preset_Browser.setControlCallback(onPresetSelected);

inline function updateUserPresetList()
{
    local User_Presets = Engine.getUserPresetList();
    Console.print("User Presets: " + User_Presets.join(", "));
    
}

updateUserPresetList();

@Delamere well at the very least you will need to add ".preset" to the end of your file name.

local Selected_Preset = component.getItemText() + ".preset";

[David Healey]

@Delamere Where's the part where you populate the combo box?

[Delamere]

@Lindon Thanks for the reply.

When adding + ".preset"; It Crashes Hise?

[Lindon]

@Delamere show us the output from this

Console.print(Selected_Preset);

[Delamere]

@d-healey Is this right?

Content.makeFrontInterface(260, 50);

const var Preset_Browser = Content.getComponent("Preset_Browser");

inline function onPresetSelected(component, value)
{

    local Selected_Preset = component.getItemText();
    Console.print(Selected_Preset);
    if (Selected_Preset.length > 0)
    Engine.loadUserPreset(Selected_Preset);

}

Preset_Browser.setControlCallback(onPresetSelected);

inline function updateUserPresetList()
{
    local User_Presets = Engine.getUserPresetList();
    Console.print("User Presets: " + User_Presets.join(", "));  
    Preset_Browser.set("items", User_Presets.join("\n"));
    
}

updateUserPresetList();

@Lindon with the code that I replied to @d-healey with, it says: API call with undefined parameter 0

Not sure, post a snippet so I can see exactly what you're doing

@Delamere Disable saveInPreset on your combo box.

And you need to add +".preset" as Lindon suggested

Engine.loadUserPreset(Selected_Preset + ".preset");

[Delamere]

@d-healey @Lindon

Great it works, cheers guys.

[David Healey]

@Delamere I should have said, it's the saveInPreset thing that was causing your crash because it created an infinite loop. The preset would load which would trigger the combo box callback, which loads the preset, which triggers the callback, which loads the preset, which goes kaboooom!
