Scaling the floating tile preset browser ?

[Dalart]

@christoph-hart I primarily just wanted to control the text size for items in the list like you are able to with the custom user preset example you wrote. Just cannot figure out how on floating tile preset browser. Maybe I ask question wrong.

Hi,

Is there still no way to change the font size in the list?
That's strange in this case, I don't see why we can change the size of everything but this...
I think we don't need to customize everything, as you said, Christoph, if someone wants full customisation he can rely on C++ (at least for the ones who can handle it)
But a general resizing factor, or at least including the list in the font size would be so helpful for the ones who can't code in C++

Will setting a global font with the desired size change this ? If so, how is global font set up in a project ?

Usually so:

Engine.loadFontAs("{PROJECT_FOLDER}Fonts/Arial.ttf", "Arial-Regular");
Engine.setGlobalFont("Arial-Regular");

@Christoph-Hart A / B comparsion options would be awesome too. (like Waves) - it can be optional for those doesn't want to use it

@remarkablex You can kind of script that yourself already.

@d-healey Where can I find that script?

@d-healey @orange No, unfortunately, I can't make that script :) If I know, I wouldn't ask. But I am open if you show me a way of that ;)

In your mind :p

I'll see if it's possible tomorrow

@d-healey I think it can be done by restoring all of the settings in the RAM temporarily for swapable A/B comparsion.

I made a similar thing for a simple situation; by creating non-visible knob or other gui elements to restoring and getting data then.

But we can't make this way for all of the situations and plugins. There should be much more convenient way to do that.

Maybe creating a temporary preset file (but shouldn't be seen in the preset browser) in the AppData path or something like that.

You just need a panel to store all of the settings in. No need to use a preset browser.

@d-healey Very interesting. Do Panels store data? A simple snippet would be good

Yes, it would be great to have a simple example, I tried hours to store data in a panel, but it never worked...

@ustk Sorry, some how I missed this. There is a thread here where Christoph enlightened me about it - https://forum.hise.audio/topic/52/variable-persistence

No worries David!
Thanks, I'm going to have a look right now...
