Deleting a preset

[Sampletekk]

Let's say that I want to delete a preset named "half.preset", what would I put in "deadFile" and how?

@Sampletekk Use the preset handler's post callback to keep track of the currently loaded preset file.

@d-healey Yes, but what goes in the deadFile? Full path to preset as a string? Like:
deadFile = "/Users/PersMac/Desktop/Utvecklingsprojekt/Hise Projects/CustomPreset/Bank1/Cat1/half.preset"

Yes, but what goes in the deadFile? Full path to preset as a string? Like:

A file object.

When you change preset the preset handler's post callback will give you a file object reference to the preset that was loaded. You can store this in a variable. Then when you want to delete the current preset you will call currentPresetFile.deleteFileOrDirectory();

You can see an example here of using the post callback - https://codeberg.org/LibreWave/RhapsodyBoilerplate/src/branch/main/includes/Presets.js#L40

If you want to use a path then you first need to convert it to a file object using FileSystem.fromAbsolutePath();

currentPresetFile.deleteFileOrDirectory();

Thanks! That worked!
