Hey man, I wonder when this feature will come?
Nowadays, many plugins have been use this, we should not fall behind the times...Just one of the tons of plugins that use this feature:
-
A friendly bump for this. I hope it will be available in the near future
-
@Fortune it could be achieved using panels
-
@WepaAudio Expanding the whole interface only in Y Axis?

@WepaAudio so when I code In C-sound it’s possible to make -25% t o + 200% zoom in zoom out for the “blinds” jejeje, I can post that code and see who can translate that to Hise code, I belive that program is built with juce and maybe the code can be useful to create zoom in zoom out, in the past I gave a juce developer ( a program called Romplur) a code for making key width, Key range and he applied the principles of the code and now his program can do key width, key range, also I got a code that with a press of a button the keyboard go up and down looks beautiful, and that code can be applied to do exactly what the original question of this post need to do, I will also post that code, now , when you start a proyect start with a panel with the same as your whole proyect,example 600x600, then inside of that panel add another panel, 300x600 and do the half of your plug-in (the part of the plug-in will always be showing, then in another panel you do the collapsible part of the plug in with a button that show or hide that panel, the thing will be on designing properly de Gui art ( background for each collapsible panel, need to look as 1 when sow and hide, when life give you lemons you learn how to make lemonade, so it’s not a code fix it’s a look a like proyect,

A bit more complicated than that...

Are you referring to Cabbage?
Yes it is possible to do this with a JUCE app but the functionality is not in HISE.
-
@d-healey yes, I didn't want to mention the name because is HISE forum, but .... yes ,is cabbage, by the way what this mean? ! saving embedded samples are bad practice, save the sample file to a file instead.
then the other question is How to do it and in where to save it, thank you!
-
@WepaAudio When you've mapped your samples you should create a sample map by clicking the save button in the mapping editor. If you don't do this then the sample mapping will be saved with your HISE project (this is the embedded sample map) but it's then fixed, if you change the mapping you can't get back to the previous one. Whereas if you save it you can have multiple sample maps that you can swap out and change as needed.

I apologize, but I think this feature is really necessary.
Please add this @Christoph-Hart

-
@orange agree!
-
@orange @Christoph-Hart Please :folded_hands:

@Fortune My hot take is that @Christoph-Hart shouldn't do it.An interface that changes size is poor design. You should never require so many on-screen widgets as to require the expansion of the interface. Think contextually.

No, you are looking at it from a very shallow and tiny perspective.
This has nothing to do with a large number of parameters. Several parameters can also be stored at the user's discretion. This has to do with flexibility.
Maybe you can choose not to use the expandable GUI from this perspective. But Users want to see this feature, just like they want the resize feature too.
For example, let's consider an fx plugin with Mid-Side feature. Users who do not want to use Mid-Side prefer to see only one channel and perform stereo processing. Users who want to use Mid-Side want to see the mid and side parts on the screen at the same time, which is important for them in terms of intervention. In such a case, the screen expand feature can be used for users who want Mid-Side.
Or another example: while some users want to see a huge analyzer on the screen, some do not. The expand feature can be used for this.
These were just two examples, even if you do a little research on other forums, you can understand that the expandable GUI feature is a feature sought by users.
Besides, many leading developers use this feature in their plugins as new plugins are released every day.
