SaveInProject without saveInPreset

[Matt_SF]

Hello folks,
As the title, how would you go about saving widgets in the project (in the DAW) without saving them in the presets?

My use case: I have my drums plugin with comboBoxes that handles multi-out routing.
I wish to save the user's routing setup in his project when he saves it (obviously) , but at the same I wish to allow him to setup the routing and keep this setup while browsing the presets.

Would that be possible?
Hint: I tried a postCallback in a presetHandler but it doesn't work.

You need to use saveInPreset and the pre and post callbacks.

In the pre-callback you store the current value, then the saveInPreset thing will trigger, then in the post-callback you restore the value you saved in the pre-callback.

And you'll use UserPresetHandler.isInternalPresetLoad() to distinguish between a preset load and a daw restore.

That's what I did.

And you'll use UserPresetHandler.isInternalPresetLoad() to distinguish between a preset load and a daw restore.

But I haven't done this.

Thanks David! I'll try this and report back

@d-healey seems to be working fine!

I remember having seen the post you reffered to but couldn't find it when searching the forum.

I've said it many times but I don't know what we would do without you

I struggled to find it too, looking forward to getting better search functionality back!
