How to make it

@Jay using panels and filesystem API. this was the starting point for this preset browser.

Custom Mini Preset Browser Example using FileSystem API:

Hey folks!

This seems to be a hot topic with the new FileSystem API, so for those who need a starting place for building a custom mini-preset browser in HiseScript, here's a simple snippet showing how to achieve the most basic steps for:

Loading presets from the user preset directory
Saving a set of controls to a file in the user preset directory with user input for the preset name
Fetching all preset names in a given directory and displaying them in a viewport
Showing the preset directory

Hope this is helpful!

A few extra things to consider:

This example saves the preset files in a certain format (key-value pairs), but it's up to you to choose how you'll save your controls and load them from your custom preset files.
This is completely separate from the built-in preset browser, so proceed with caution. The actual HISE user presets are formatted differently.
This doesn't include any protections for overwriting files or checks for invalid files / objects loaded.

@pluginboi when opening the snippet is giving me this error

Screenshot 2023-07-02 at 4.02.58 PM.png

pluginboi

@Jay Do you have different sub Preset folders set up in your Userpreset project folder? and then edit this line to be the names of each folder

var presetFolders = ["Factory", "User"];  // update this with your actual folder names

Jay

@pluginboi Thanks a lot.

Jay

@pluginboi what to add, to make it show the selected preset on a label?

Jay

@Jay I figure it out

Jay

@pluginboi I was wondering if you know how to save a preset to a file because I'm using this and is not working

inline function onsaveOkControl(component, value)
{
Engine.saveUserPreset(presetNametoSave);
};
Content.getComponent("saveOk").setControlCallback(onsaveOkControl);

any idea why?

Thanks in advance!!!

pluginboi

@Jay this is how i save them to the 'user' sub folder but you could get rid of the child folder to make it general. I found this in an old thread I think @Dan-Korneff posted about out so he may have more info if you're doing more customization

var pre_folder = FileSystem.getFolder(FileSystem.UserPresets).getChildFile("User");
	
	function save(file)
	{
	    Engine.saveUserPreset(file);
	}


//// Save as Button
inline function onSaveasBTNControl(component, value)
	{
	if (value)
	    	
	 FileSystem.browse(pre_folder, true, "*.preset", save);   
	 
	 PresetHandler.init();
	 populatePanel1(); 
	          
	 UpdatePresetLabel();    	  
	};
	
Content.getComponent("SaveasBTN").setControlCallback(onSaveasBTNControl);

This is always showing one preset name behind it. Do you think you can help me with this?
note: it's doing it in both examples

namespace UserPresetWidgets
{
	inline function createPresetButton(name, x, y, up)
	{
		local widget = Content.addPanel(name, x, y);
    
		Content.setPropertiesFromJSON(name, {
		"width": 10,
		"height": 15,
		"saveInPreset": false,
		"allowCallbacks": "Clicks & Hover"
		});
    
		widget.data.up = up;
    
		widget.setPaintRoutine(function(g)
		{
			g.setColour(this.data.hover ? 0xFF65B17c : 0xFF2C4433);
			g.fillTriangle([0, 0, this.getWidth(), this.getHeight()], this.data.up ? Math.PI/2 : 1.5 * Math.PI);
		});
    
		widget.setMouseCallback(function(event)
		{
			this.data.hover = event.hover;
    	
			if(event.clicked)
			{
				if(this.data.up)
				{
					convoLbl1.set("text", Engine.getCurrentUserPresetName());
					Engine.loadNextUserPreset(true);
				}
				else
				{
					convoLbl1.set("text", Engine.getCurrentUserPresetName());
					Engine.loadPreviousUserPreset(true);
				}
			}
			this.repaint();
		});
		return widget;
	};
}

const var UpButton = UserPresetWidgets.createPresetButton("UpButton", 749, 10, true);
const var DownButton = UserPresetWidgets.createPresetButton("DownButton", 736, 10, false);





// ============== second attemp

// next
inline function onnextBtnControl(component, value)
{
	convoLbl1.set("text", Engine.getCurrentUserPresetName());
	Engine.loadNextUserPreset(true);
};
Content.getComponent("nextBtn").setControlCallback(onnextBtnControl);

// prev
inline function onprevBtnControl(component, value)
{
	convoLbl1.set("text", Engine.getCurrentUserPresetName());
	Engine.loadPreviousUserPreset(true);
};
Content.getComponent("prevBtn").setControlCallback(onprevBtnControl);

@Jay You have to load the preset first, then get the name, you have it the other way around

if(this.data.up)
				{
					//	First load the preset
					Engine.loadNextUserPreset(true);
					//	Then get the loaded preset name
					convoLbl1.set("text", Engine.getCurrentUserPresetName());
				}

Jay

@ulrik Thank you so much, you're right
