@d-healey Nice thanks for clarifying, that does open up a bit more possibilities.

I'm trying some things to hack around it so I can get the best of both worlds. For instance, in CSS I am not seeing a way of distinguishing the list items by column. The items in bank > category > preset are all drawn the same in CSS.

@rzrsharpeprod Excellent, glad it's starting to come together :)

@Elezeid

Identified and fixed (sort of 😂)

Combo box with script swaps between factory and expansion content Combo box saves in preset Changing presets seems to re-trigger the combo box's value, even if it's the same as the previous preset, which initializes the expansion content and bumps the scroll window back to the top

Fix: Turn off "save in preset" for the combo box.

Voila! Bug gone. This is a slightly less than ideal way to browse content, as the user will have to manually swap content libraries via the combo box, but it is a small inconvenience when compared to the joy of browsing presets.

Hope this helps anyone else that runs into the issue in the future!

I just went to the source to look into making an addNoiseToArea function and what do I find but sneaky undocumented HISE goodness.

You can pass an object to g.addNoise!

g.addNoise({alpha: 1.0, scaleFactor: 1.0, area: obj.area, monochromatic: true});

alpha = noiseAmount

@mehmethand said in Searching across all expansions:

@rzrsharpeprod

const var exh= Engine.createExpansionHandler(); var presetList=[]; var expList= exh.getExpansionList(); for (e in Engine.getUserPresetList()) presetList.push(e); for (i=0;i<expList.length;i++) { for (e in expList[i].getUserPresetList()) presetList.push(e); } Console.print(trace(presetList));

I'm not in front of the computer but this should work.
@mehmethand
Your code did work. I have now populated a viewport with the list of all presets across all expansions. I can also type into a 'search box' which is actually a label and then the matching results are shown which is a good start.
I am struggling to figure out how to link further code to it so that I can load the relevant preset when one of the results is clicked. Do you know if this is possible?
Thanks in advance

Ah I see the problem. Do we want to sendNotification here?

@Straticah https://forum.hise.audio/topic/1159/always-on-the-presetbrowser/17?_=1671504694655

@HISEnberg Hmm and I suppose a follow up to this is if mixing and LAFs is possible here (HISE's traditional LAF and CSS)?

@Straticah looks great, well done

@Straticah I think the icon position is fixed

I don't think it's a good idea. A preset is a single state that needs to be recalled on various occasions and adding another abstraction layer on top of that will lead to issues and regression problems pretty soon and the possible use cases are way too broad to be covered with a "hardcoded solution".

You can achieve this kind of customized loading / saving with the pre / post user preset callback where you could remove eg. all mixer gain values if the user chooses to do so.

Am I being silly or is the favourite button state obj.buttonState inverted? Aha! It triggers on mouse up not mouse down :)

@DanH No problem, Ill get it sent your way ASAP. Its super appreciated!

Agree +1

Engine.loadFontAs("{PROJECT_FOLDER}Fonts/Lato-Bold.ttf", "bold"); Engine.loadFontAs("{PROJECT_FOLDER}Fonts/Lato-Regular.ttf", "regular");
