Cannot reopen project...
-
I'm very very new to HISE. I spent several hours creating a very basic plugin and figured out how to export it properly and get it to function in my DAW. However, when I closed the project then tried to reopen it from the startup menu in HISE, im met with a completely blank project bearing the same name. Throughout the creation of the VST I was seeing a number of "Autosave" messages in the console, yet I cannot for the life of me figure out how to reopen this project. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

@lucaspluim Is your project XML saved at the right place? It can happen sometimes that it saves in a different location, so when opening the project (which is the main folder), Hise can't find the associated XML...

@ustk
These are the xlm files in my project folder, none exist in the XlmPresetBackups though -
-
@ulrik Strange, there's nothing in my presets folder either. That's how I was able to reopen them for my last project, but for this one the folder is empty. As a standard practice should I be consistently hitting "Save XLM"?
-
@lucaspluim Yes XMLs are the way to go for saving your project, not presets. They can be used but they are "impossible" to edit later manually if needed, and for other reasons... But they are good autosave files.
What's in your XmlPresetBackups folder as per my screenshot?
-
@lucaspluim Yes, as @ustk says, always save as XML, that is the safest way to have an updated project!
-
This is as of a few minutes ago once I realized I should've been saving XLM all along lol. Will probably have to redo the project but at least now I know what to do going forward!
Thanks for saving me several hours of banging my head against a wall!

@ulrik Ty for the responsiveness, saved me a lot of time and energy. Cheers!
