defining Preset Save/Load directory

[Lindon]

Thats great!

So to be clear I make a set of presets save them as a Collection and then put that file in the UserPresets folder in my project and they will be embedded in my plugin at compile time and show up as soon as the usar opens the preset browser?

Tell me more about this .hr1 resource file (and by "tell me more" please feel free to interpret that as - point me at the documentation)

@Lindon Create your presets using the default HISE preset browser, they will automatically be saved in the UserPresets folder.

[Lindon]

hmm, I did that and they are not showing up in the compiled version... let me retry...

The HR is an archive (like zip). It compresses (lossless) the sample monoliths further for delivery to the user. When the user runs the plugin for the first time they will be asked to locate the HR files, then the monoliths will be extracted to their chosen location, after which they can delete the HR files.

If there is already a user preset directory existing, it won't do anything. Try deleting (or renaming) your %APPDATA% user preset directory and reload the plugin.

@d-healey OK...

I managed to work out how to make a .hr1 file....

I recompiled my plugin
I started tracktion(a simple enough DAW) and loaded the plugin

It started, and asked me to point at the hR1 file - which I did and then it gave me this:

..and thus the user cannot reach the OK button to press it.

[Lindon]

...so I worked out how to force the dialog UP so I could see the OK button, this is REALLY bad user design by the way...

I pressed OK, it installed the samples in the selected directory and gave me the correct interface.

I play it and no sound comes out.

Do I need to manually load the sampleMaps?

[Christoph Hart]

This is UX at its finest - I forgot that people might use plugin heights less than 500px (or whatever). I'll fix this. In the meantime you can check with a bigger height - 700px should get you started :)

@Christoph-Hart

and the not making sound?

Did you reload the plugin as per the instructions?

[Lindon]

yeah, and it made all the same sound - so I coded a sampleLoad for each voice in the init and that seems to have it working...

Now I just await this "smaller" dialog for sample load....

[d.healey]

It seems user presets don't show up for one of my projects too. The only thing I can think of is I'm using the two column layout...

[Lindon]

strange - I'm using the default settings and they are showing up now.
