will this allow you to export midi on a compiled plugin?

I couldn't come up with anything :man_shrugging:

Bump bump does Anyone have a clue on if this is possible?

[arminh]

Bump bump :)

Im trying to get list of files by using

var files = FileSystem.findFiles("AudioFiles", "*.wav", true);

and in result im gettin empty array. Any tips? And yes, i have files in this folder. :P

[arminh]

Being honest i can't scan any folder and can't find any file ...

[Christoph Hart]

You need to create a reference to the folder first:

const var audioFiles = FileSystem.getFolder(FileSystem.AudioFiles);

FileSystem.findFiles(audioFiles, "*.wav", true);

Also use the constant FileSystem.AudioFiles instead of "AudioFiles".

thanks, but i gettin error

Interface:! Line 3, column 66: Function / constant not found: FileSystem.AudioFiles {SW50ZXJmYWNlfHwxMDZ8M3w2Ng==}

[Christoph Hart]

Ooops, my bad, I think this was in the second batch of constants which I forgot to add to the scripting object. Will fix it later. If you can't wait, goto

hi_scripting/scripting/api/ScriptingApi.cpp

and add

addConstant("AudioFiles", (int)AudioFiles);

at line 4381 (the constructor of the FileSystem object).

[arminh]

@Christoph-Hart unfortunly it still not work. I tried use other place but still the same error. Im using latest scriptnode.

constant not found: FileSystem.Desktop

[arminh]

@Christoph-Hart any solution?

[Christoph Hart]

I'll take a look tomorrow.

Can we do this with MIDI FILES?

[Christoph Hart]

Are you talking about embedded Midi files or files on the user‘s disk?

Embedded files should be retrievable with MidiPlayer.getMidiFileList() - it‘s not implemented yet but it will follow the same logic as Sampler.getSampleMapList().

[arminh]

@Christoph-Hart you had a chance to check why consts not working properly?

Files on a user's disk. Really a way to save or create a path for midi files.

[Christoph Hart]

@arminh I've just committed the fix, it should work now.

@BWSounds Now you can pass in scriptfile objects into MidiPlayer.saveAsMidiFile / MidiPlayer.setFile (Plus you got MidiPlayer.getMidiFileList()` for all internal references).

[arminh]

@Christoph-Hart ok audio files work but desktop not :)

constant not found: FileSystem.Desktop {SW50ZXJmYWNlfHwyMzJ8MTB8NjU=}

Is there option to show file name of object?

[Christoph Hart]

Damn that‘s annoying ;)

Change line 4389 from 6 to 9, it ran out of the predefined slots...

[Christoph Hart]

Never mind, I've fixed it, so you can just pull.

[arminh]

@Christoph-Hart thanks! :) And how to exctract name or path from object? I don't see any method in API to do this :)
Using trace gives me empty Interface log.
