Change image on preset load

[hisefilo]

Im trying to load custom images to the UI for each preset.
How can I detect user changed a preset? I can get the current preset name, and I can replace the image, but cant trigger that on preset change

const var currentUserPreset = Engine.getCurrentUserPresetName();
const var instrumentImage = Content.getComponent("instrumentImage");    


Console.print(currentUserPreset);

if (currentUserPreset == "Clarinet") {

    instrumentImage.setImageFile("{PROJECT_FOLDER}key-vectors.png", true);
    }

I have kind of the same idea in mind recently but didn't have the time to try it...

I see two solutions here that might worth a try:

• using a timer to check the preset every now and then
• or why not a hidden knob, saved with the presets, with the image selection in its callback

@ustk hidden knob idea is brilliant! will try

@ustk Solved! A slider with a filmstrip containing all of the images as frames. Then just re-saved presets selecting the matching image on the slider

@hisefilo You're the guy!
