New API: Server and FileSystem

[arminh]

@Christoph-Hart any solution?

[Christoph Hart]

I'll take a look tomorrow.

@Christoph-Hart said in New API: Server and FileSystem:

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".

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().

@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.

@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).

@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.

@Christoph-Hart thanks a lot. I also used Filename but the result is the same as with FullPath.

Using this

for (f in files)
{
    var p = f.toString(Filename);
    audioArr.push(p);
}

gives me links like this

"/Users/armin/Library/Application Support/My Company/test/filez/pluck5.wav",

@Christoph-Hart can you add option to set own headers in Server API?

[Christoph Hart]

There already is Server.setHttpHeader:

HISE | Scripting | Server

The API class to communicate with a server

Is there a way to set the FileSystem.browse() startFolder to be a sub-folder?
I'm looking to use a button to browse to the UserPresets folder of an Expansion.

FileSystem.Expansions

gets me to the root..

I've tried:

FileSystem.Expansions.UserPresets
FileSystem.Expansions/UserPresets

no go.

@dustbro

I think you just need to do something like this:

var folder = FileSystem.getFolder(FileSystem.Expansions).getChildFile("UserPresets");
FileSystem.browse(folder, false, "", function() {});

[Dan Korneff]

Is there anything special I have to do while using getParentDirectory?

I'm trying to get the directory of a file, but it's returning the full file path with file name.
e.g. C://Folder/audio.wav

Same as if I call FullFilePath

@dustbro Example please
