      It's not automatically switching to the newer branches

      Branch switching isn't automatic, you need to use the checkout command to switch to the branch you want.

        @d-healey I did, it's just not in the screenshot

        the asterisk is on codegen but the compiled version is missing scriptnode (so it's the master branch from like 16 years ago)

                    @Lindon Yup, didn't do what I thought it did. Scroll up until you find my post with a link to a demo project, wasn't that far back.

                    @Christoph-Hart We need a way to accurately link to other posts in a thread, clicking the timestamp appears not to work.

                        @Lindon Here's where I'm at so far, note that it's still very much a WIP (loaded expansions aren't persistent in a DAW yet, for example)

                        /*Basic Player plugin with on-the-fly sample-loading and image-changing + hiding of GUI elements.
                        
                        I've also hidden the init sample locate dialog with:
                        
                        HISE_SAMPLE_DIALOG_SHOW_INSTALL_BUTTON=0
                        HISE_SAMPLE_DIALOG_SHOW_LOCATE_BUTTON=0
                        
                        In the Extra Definitions [Your OS] Preferences
                        */
                        const var expHandler = Engine.createExpansionHandler();
                        const var SamplerRR = Synth.getChildSynth("SamplerRR");
                        var currentExpansion = "";
                        
                        expHandler.setAllowedExpansionTypes([expHandler.FileBased,

                            How would I make the loaded expansion re-load on DAW close/reopen?

                            Making currentExpansion a const var obviously breaks the button functions that change it, and it doesn't default to a string unless I give it an initial value of "", which means calling that won't load the right expansion..

                              @iamlamprey Expansions are automatically loaded when one of the expansion's presets is used, so as long as the DAW is saved and closed after a preset has been selected it "should" be there when you reopen the DAW.

                                  Unrelated but has anyone else had the Custom Keyboard FloatingTile randomly play a high F and stick when clicking GUI elements?

                                  I thought was my old midi controller but it only happens when I click something on the GUI, both in HISE and in DAW.

                                  Super weird 😧

                                    I still need help regarding making expansions persistent and loading on DAW open/close. 😧

                                    favicon

                                    (streamable.com)

                                    I can install the libraries and load them manually just fine. But on DAW save/load it defaults back to no expansion HOWEVER if I hit "Open Preset Folder" in the preset browser, it directs me to the right expansion folder.

                                    So somehow the currentExpansion is saved, but I can't figure out how to restore it.

                                    I've tried making init presets and using

                                    Engine.loadNextUserPreset(1);
                                    

                                    in both button callbacks and onInit, without any success.

                                    //init stuff:
                                    
                                    include("CustomExpansionLoading.js");
                                    
                                    const var expHandler = Engine.createExpansionHandler();
                                    var currentExpansion;
                                    
                                    //Load expansions
                                    
                                    switch (currentExpansion)
                                    {
                                        case "Cloudburst":
                                            loadCloudburst();
                                            break;
                                            
                                        case "Atlas":
                                            loadAtlas();
                                            break;

                                        Button_LoopSpeedDouble.showControl(0);
                                        Label_LoopSpeedHalf.showControl(0);
                                        Label_LoopSpeedDouble.showControl(0);     
                                    };
                                    
                                    //Button to switch to this expansion.
                                    inline function onExpansions_ButtonBloomControl(component, value)
                                    {
                                        if (value)
                                        {
                                            loadBloom();
                                        }
                                    };
                                    

                                    A lot of it is dependant on the variable currentExpansion, and I think somehow it isn't saving that right.

                                    I've probably massively overcomplicated this...

                                      I've just realized there's a

                                      Engine.setCurrentExpansion and a expHandler.setCurrentExpansion.

                                      This might be the cause of my woes...

                                        OKAY got it working (I think), I didn't know about the expHandler.setExpansionCallBack() function and was trying to do things manually this whole time 😞

                                            @arminh Each expansion has an images folder, put your image in there.
