save user preset

[Dan Korneff]

I'm looking for a way to create a preset outside of the Preset Browser.
Just a button the user can hit to name and save the current settings.

I've tried

Engine.saveUserPreset();

but it doesn't seem to output any data or create a file?

I also tried

Content.storeAllControlsAsPreset()

but the data it creates is different than a preset created by the Preset Broswer, and loading the file creates unexpected results.

File created with Content.storeAllControlsAsPreset() contains:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<Preset>
  <Content Processor="Interface">

...stuff

  </Content>
</Preset>

and a file created with the Preset Browser contains:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<Preset Version="1.0.0">
  <Content Processor="Interface">
 
...stuff

  </Content>
  <MidiAutomation/>
  <MPEData Enabled="0"/>
</Preset>

Is anyone successfully using either of these to create user presets?

ok. Got a solution working pretty well... on everything EXCEPT AAX

@Christoph-Hart It looks like AAX does not like

Engine.loadUserPreset();
or
Engine.saveUserPreset();

EDIT:
It looks like Engine.saveUserPreset() IS working, but Engine.loadUserPreset() is not.
I'm using the workaround to Load a preset before you call saveUserPreset, but I just can't get it to load.
Using the preset browser works as it should in PT. @Christoph-Hart What else is the Preset Browser doing when it Loads a preset that I can't achieve with Engine.loadUserPreset()?
