Restoring properties with DAW session

[Dan Korneff]

@d-healey Have you check that the functions for presetData and presetFile are doing their thing first?

I just looked at my project. I moved the function outside of the Pre/Post callback

	userPresetHandler.setPostCallback(function()
	{
		setMetaData();
	});
	
	inline function setMetaData()
	{
	    //do stuff here
	    
	}

I wonder if I hit the same issue in the past?

@Dan-Korneff The functions are being triggered correctly. Inline functions are inlined when the code is compiled anyway so I don't see that making a difference here.

Haha, I tricked you with my deceiving naming! Inline functions are not inlined, they just use a better localized scope that doesn't allocate, but it's a function call never the less.

@Christoph-Hart I've been living a lie!

But why my code no work?

Ahaaaaa it's one of those problems where you don't change anything and magically it starts working!!!

[d.healey]

Mystery solved. I had a default preset set in project preferences. This completely breaks the save in DAW behaviour. Removing the default preset solves the issue.

It would be nice to have both though. On first load we get the default preset, then after that it reverts to the regular behaviour.

I've been playing around with this trying to find a solution for global settings. Things like oversampling. What I would like is:

• When a new instance of the plugin is loaded, these controls load according to a global settings json file which I set on user control of the knob
• Unless! It's a session being recalled where that knob has already been set by the user.

So when the user clicks off something like oversampling, it will apply to that instance and any new ones loaded, unless an instance is being recalled from a saved session. I absolutely can't have it breaking recall by changing the sound when a user reloads a project.

Unfortunately the .isInternalPresetLoad() method seems to not work well for this. First the settings blink. For a split second it loads the value saved in the preset and it both visually and audibly jumps to that setting for a moment before jumping back to what it was before the preset load.

And second if a user quickly changes presets this method fails after a few clicks. I suspect it has to do with the system trying to load a next preset before it's completed things and set the finished flag. The result is that after a few rapid "next preset" clicks, my control loads the value saved in preset instead of maintaining the prior value as it's supposed to.

@whoopsydoodle If i understand you correctly, I posted the code to do this a couple weeks ago.

@clevername27 link? would love to give it a try

[clevername27]

@whoopsydoodle I tried to find it, but there is no "advanced search" that I can find for the forum. You'd want to search by user (me) and then maybe "file". Perhaps there is a way to do that I do not know of.

Search bar at the top, hit enter.

@d-healey Thank you, appreciated — I can't find stuff, often, with that interface. I meant something like this, which includes options on which keywords must be found, and such.

It does provide all of those features, the interface is just different.

Search in forum = category
Entire post = In titles and posts
etc.

@d-healey How do I specify phrases that must be found?

[d.healey]

@clevername27 Wrap it in quotes

[clevername27]

@d-healey So it does, cheers (clicking the gear icon).

Yeah I just noticed that too :)
