Expansions preset tagging
-
I am really struggling to find out how to get preset - in particular expansion preset tagging to work from an external file.
I have looked around the forum and found some posts on it but nothing that explains the process with enough detail that I can have a go at it myself.As far as I understand I can use a JSON or XML file in each expansion folder and then put the tags for each preset inside that expansion in the file. I am not sure which or the 2 formats is best to work with, does it matter or are either easy for hisento pul in and use?
Once I have that file, how do I go about getting Hise to read the file so that the tags can be used in the project? I assume it is best to use the file system but don't know how to point it at the expansion folder to pick up the json/XML file.
So in short I am falling at the first hurdle and can't even get the tags into hise to even start thinking about using them correctly in the project.
Any help with the file format and loading it into hise would be much appreciated as without hat I can't do anything else. -

Ok an update. I have created json files and got Hise to read them and populate inside a panel. If I click on the tag text it prints to the console with any presets that have that tag which is good.So my next hurdle is now can I/is it even possible to filter the preset browser to show just the presets that have that particular tag?
