Custom Preset Browser example

@jadg Christoph said he's going to change it this week to do that :)

I'll come up with a clear API for this in the next days...

@d-healey
ok, of course,

@christoph-hart Yes man you are right, it's impossible to put everything that anybody might ever think.

But believe in me, the things that I've mentioned are standarts for a plugin and it will meet everybody's needs. So no one can ask you a different idea. So why HISE doesn't have such generic features / standarts that every plugin developer needs... I'm sure if you would have enaugh time, you would the best bro.... I understand you.

Here are just a few different companies that uses this menu structure like other fx plugin developers... ;) :)

[d.healey]

@orange I can show you many others that don't :) It is better if Christoph creates an API that each developer can use to make their own preset handling solution rather than having one setup that will suit some people but not others.

For example for my current project I'm using the preset system to change entire instruments and this reloads all the sample maps, an A/B button would not be very useful for this purpose.

[orange]

@d-healey A/B button is used for fx plugins, not for instruments :)

Yes, it's better to have API so the developers can customize their own preset menus.

Preset saving is still not working with the latest version :(

I also noticed that Engine.getCurrentUserPresetName() is weird too. For me it gives the last preset that I loaded, rather than the current one.

It would be a miracle if it have fixed itself without me doing anything :)

I often think HISE is a miracle ;)

@orange did you ever find a solution to this? I'd prefer a preset system like this too, especially for plugins with a small viewport

[orange]

@Morphoice Yes, you can do it with APIs in Hise, also with a combination of LAF or CSS, you can style whatever you want.
