Preset Browser Tags crash app on Windows

[Casey Kolb]

There was a slight discussion about this elsewhere on the forum, but I believe it warrants its own thread as it hasn't been fixed. Both the HISE IDE and any exported plugins will crash on Windows when trying to use custom Preset Browser tags. If you click on the tags, the app will freeze. I know @Lindon was experiencing a similar issue. Can others confirm this happens for them too?

@Christoph-Hart Any chance you could take a peek at this?

Thanks!

@Lunacy-Audio How do you add tags to a preset?

@Lunacy-Audio How do you add tags to a preset?

You do something like this which adds the tags automatically to the preset browser:

const var presetTagList = ["Organic", "Synth", "Simple", "Complex"];
Engine.setUserPresetTagList(presetTagList);

From there, you can click Edit Tags in the preset browser and select which tags you want to assign to the currently loaded preset.

@Lunacy-Audio Thanks, I'll try it out.

@d-healey DONT try it on Windows - it crashes HISE every time...

[Casey Kolb]

@Lindon Yup, still waiting to see what the deal is with this. Would really love to use to the preset browser tags. @Christoph-Hart Any idea why these might be crashing Windows machines?

This was just a small glitch introduced by the expansion redesign and should work now...

@Christoph-Hart Excellent! Thank you :)
