Populate samplemaps based on folder choice(almost working)

[ten7kur]

bump.
Anyone?

At least the simplest of question;
Why wont a viewport clear its items with:

Viewport.set("items", "");

??
Thanks

I think it's a bug. i just did a simple test and you're right, it doesn't work.

@ten7kur possibly try to insert viewport.changed somewhere in the code to tell the component to initiate the callback and update item list. I believe I had the viewport updating not to long ago, just not in an if statement. Might not work, just trying to help

@d-healey Apparently, you need to have at least something as a workaround,
like Viewport.set("items", "-"); or Viewport.set("items", "Select a category");

I think .isNotEmpty() is the cause:

void ScriptingApi::Content::ScriptedViewport::setScriptObjectPropertyWithChangeMessage(const Identifier &id, var newValue, NotificationType notifyEditor /* = sendNotification */)
{
	if (id == getIdFor(Items))
	{
		jassert(isCorrectlyInitialised(Items));

		if (newValue.toString().isNotEmpty())
		{
			currentItems = StringArray::fromLines(newValue.toString());
		}
	}

	ScriptComponent::setScriptObjectPropertyWithChangeMessage(id, newValue, notifyEditor);
}

I'll try to remove it...

Tried it but no luck..
I looked in the API, found "changed()" but it seems like it exists for all components Besides the Viewport..

It works by commenting out the .isNotEmpty() condition
@d-healey I'll make a pull request to your fork in a moment if you want this fix of course...
The fact is that I don't know if it can involve a wrong behavior somewhere else in Hise, so, be warned if you use it!

[ustk]

@d-healey What branch should I use in your fork? The develop seems more recent than the scriptnode one...

[d.healey]

@ustk yeah the develop one

[ten7kur]

@ustk You're a beast! for goin nitty gritty!
Wish i could be more code efficient!..not yet!

@ten7kur It's pushed on Dave's repo, you can compile it and test ;)
