@d-healey Then my job here is done.

@orange said in Qt Installer framework:

Personally, I do not see any additional advantage

You only have to learn a single installer platform instead of learning a separate one for each OS. It will also look more similar on each system so a user moving from Windows to Mac for example will get a similar experience on both.

i notice the user audio module opens the correct folder when you right click on it. whats the line of code that tells it what directory to open for that specific module? it might hold the key to my original question

edit: on Windows {AUDIO_FILES} works just fine. so i guess a better question is why it no work for mac? lol

another edit: well holy cheeseballs. im an idiot. problem solved. i was using the string that was generated by saving the preset in the compiled plugin manually and it contained the line data="filename". changing that to fileName="{AUDIO_FILES}didthetrick.wav"/> . thanks for the help @Christoph-Hart @d-healey @Lindon

@mwplugs Check in the project's .jucer file what the architectures are set to. If it's both x86 and Arm, and it compiles successfully, then it will work.

You should also run your plugins through pluginval and auval

@ustk said in Mac Specifications:

I definitely should use a VM instead of a too annoying dual boot...

I was triple booting my previous Mac Mini but the new one only has a tiny unchangable ssd (128GB!) so I decided to go for bootcamp for Windows on an external drive and a virtual machine for GNU/Linux. But I think I'm going to move Windows into a VM too because it's a hassle to reboot the Mac and hold down ALT and hope that it decides to let me switch to Windows.

@DanH Worked! Thanks man

I think instead of using AUDIO_FILES you should use the {PROJECT_FOLDER} wildcard like with sample maps. That may resolve the / \ issue too. I don't have a suitable project setup to test this so let me know if it solves it.

Go to the export menu and select Export as Instrument. I'm assuming you've already compiled HISE from source before and therefore have everything setup to export.
