loadUserPreset - strange behaviour...

@Lindon

This functionality has been available in Kontakt since at least version 4, so I'm a bit surprised frankly its not in HISE already.

I think the reason it's not in HISE is because until now there hasn't been a use case for it, everything so far can be done through the existing preset system.

[Lindon]

@d-healey Dave, yeah understood, and I'm happy (ish) to use the existing systems - especially if I can get it to work - but right now I cant get HISE to recall any values for any widget.

Lets hope Christoph can point at what I'm doing wrong.

Hey guys. I'm just starting to add user presets to my project. Having a little trouble getting them to load with a combo box.
I've created 2 user presets in the PresetBrowser, but the interface designer doesn't show any control changes.
Here's what I'm doing:

const var ComboBox1 = Content.getComponent("ComboBox1");

const var list = Engine.getUserPresetList();

inline function onComboBox1Control(component, value)
{
    switch (number)
	{
		case 1:
		Engine.loadUserPreset(list[0]);
		break;

		case 2:
		Engine.loadUserPreset(list[1]);
		break;
	}
};

Content.getComponent("ComboBox1").setControlCallback(onComboBox1Control);

[Lindon]

@dustbro have you checked that list elements contain the correct data? Bit obvious but still...

[d.healey]

@dustbro

    switch (number)
	{
		case 1:
		Engine.loadUserPreset(list[0]);
		break;

		case 2:
		Engine.loadUserPreset(list[1]);
		break;
	}

Use this instead : Engine.loadUserPreset(list[number-1]); it's not a fix to the issue it's just a much shorter way of writing the same thing. Where are you getting number from though?

@Lindon I believe so:

Protip: Rightclick on the row in the table to get a popup with the data for arrays and objects :)

I thought the number was the position of the selected combo box?

The combobox has a index starting with 1 because 0 marks "no selection".

[d.healey]

@dustbro

In this function the first time the word number appears is inside the switch. I think you want to replace number with value.

inline function onComboBox1Control(component, value)
{
    switch (number)
	{
		case 1:
		Engine.loadUserPreset(list[0]);
		break;

		case 2:
		Engine.loadUserPreset(list[1]);
		break;
	}
};

If I replace number with value, HISE crashes when I compile the script

[Dan Korneff]

Even if I ditch the array
this = instant HISE crash:

inline function onComboBox1Control(component, value)
{
    switch(value)
	{
		case 1:
		Engine.loadUserPreset("asdf/Bass/BassLeveler");
		break;

		case 2:
		Engine.loadUserPreset("asdf/Drums/DrumPump");
		break;
	}
};

Content.getComponent("ComboBox1").setControlCallback(onComboBox1Control);

[Lindon]

@dustbro yeah HISE crashes like a 0.1 app when I use loadUserPreset

[Dan Korneff]

@Lindon :( Using the Preset browser floating tile works as expected... but my GUI only has room for a simple combo box.
not sure what I'm doing wrong

[d.healey]

@dustbro yeah must be some bug with the load preset function. But value is definitely right since number doesn't exist

[Lindon]

@dustbro As Dave pointed out to me, using:

storeAllControlsAsPreset("abc",false);

and
restoreAllControlsAsPreset("abc");

seems to be more reliable - try substituting those?

[Dan Korneff]

@Lindon I'll give that a try.
Is it required to use storeAllControlsAsPreset if the preset files already exist?

[Dan Korneff]

@Christoph-Hart Is there an example of the CustomUserPreset tutorial that uses a combobox instead of the Viewport?

[Lindon]

@dustbro dont think so you could just give the Restore option a try...

[d.healey]

I'm having a go at making a custom preset browser, the first issue I've hit is storeAllControlsAsPreset() doesn't allow a folder structure with the file name, so all presets end up in the top level. Is there a known workaround for this?
