Heavy Loading times (Plugin Initialization) using Encrypted Expansions

@Soundavid more than 4, less than you have :)

@Christoph-Hart That's a Big window :') Thanks!

@Christoph-Hart Ok I reduced the Encryption Key and the JSON Content A LOT! And Improves the loading time just a little like in a 10%, this is a normal behavior? Or im doing something weird? Im Calling the setCredentials function way before setting the setAllowedExpansionTypes in my script, maybe this has something to do with this?

include ("Theme.js");
include ("Paths.js");
include ("License.js"); ---> Here is where I set the Credentials and Check the Plugin License
include ("LAF.js");
include ("GUI.js");
include ("Filters.js");
include ("Controls.js");
include ("Mapping.js");
include ("Expansions.js"); ----> Here is where I set the Allowed Expansion Types
include ("Meters.js");
include ("ZoomHandler.js");
include ("Paint.js");

@Christoph-Hart Ok, I've tried everything and seems that the problem was with the Presets, I removed all the presets and create only a fresh preset to load the expansion and the plugin loads almost immediately :anxious_face_with_sweat:

[Christoph Hart]

@Soundavid how big is a .preset file and how many presets are in there?

[Soundavid]

@Christoph-Hart Aproxx 131KB per Preset and 406 Total Presets (Summing all 6 expansions)

[Soundavid]

@Christoph-Hart Ok, My Solution was encoding the Expansions without presets and shipping the Preset Folder additionally, everything loads a lot faster now.

@Soundavid good idea at some point I might consider removing the user presets from the encryption payload (as they are living unencrypted on your hard disk anyways), but that‘s a good solution.

I already added this - https://github.com/christophhart/HISE/commit/28afe964c6f0739c8fdbe7270809b452274880b8

@Christoph-Hart Maybe let the user decide what would be encrypted with a checkbox? In this way we could update things like Presets, images, MIDI Files or Audio files without re-encoding the expansion but maintaining the encryption and copy protection.

Check my post above.
