AppData Folder || My Custom presets dont compile....

d.healey

@Chazrox .js files in the project's Scripts folder that are included in your script.

Chazrox

@d-healey oh, so instead of writing to AppData, should I be just writing to an object in an .include?
If I want those to be "factory settings" AND I want the user to be able to add their own presets, how do I go about that?

concat the arrays of keys is my guess....

How do I disable being able to delete the "factory settings"?

Current script:

//--------------------------  FILE & OBJECT DECLARATION  ------------------------

// File path for saving/loading ---->
const var SynthAndFXPresetsFile = FileSystem.getFolder(FileSystem.AppData).getChildFile("KeyzieSynthAndFXPresets.json");

// Declare object to hold presets ---->
reg SynthAndFXPresets = {};

// LOAD OBJECT AND POPULATE COMBOBOX -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
if (SynthAndFXPresetsFile.isFile())
{

	
	// Load object IN ---->
	SynthAndFXPresets = SynthAndFXPresetsFile.loadAsObject();

	
	// Extract keys from object ---->
	var keyListSynth = [];
	for (s in SynthAndFXPresets) 
		keyListSynth.push(s);
	
	// Set Combobox items with extracted keys ---->
	vpSynthPresets.set("items", keyListSynth.join("\n"));
}

@Chazrox factory presets go in an include, user presets go in app data.

You can check where the preset is coming from to know if it's a factory one.

I dont know if this is the best way but it works.

	// Load object IN ---->
	SynthAndFXPresets = SynthAndFXPresetsFile.loadAsObject();
	
	
	// Extract keys from object ---->
	var keyListSynth = [];
	var factorykeyListSynth = FactorySynthPresets;
	
	for (s in SynthAndFXPresets) 
		keyListSynth.push(s);
	
	for (k in factorykeyListSynth)	
	{
		keyListSynth.push(k);
		Console.print(k);
	}
	
	vpSynthPresets.set("items", keyListSynth.join("\n"));

@d-healey can you please just check my homework here please. I think im routing something wrong but I dont see it......yet....

This is my viewport control script:

inline function onvpSynthPresetsControl(component, value)
{
	Console.print(value);
	
	// GET BY INDEX IN CURRENT LIST ------>GET VALUE
	reg currentSynthPreset = vpSynthPresets.get("items").split("\n")[vpSynthPresets.getValue()];
	
	Console.print(value + "name is " + currentSynthPreset + "CURRENTLY SELECTED VPSYNTH");
	
	//Create a list to hold all presets combined.
	local allSynthPresetsNOW = [];
	
	// Declare both lists.	
		// Factory in Local Object
	local factorySynthPresetsNOWB = FactorySynthPresets;	
		// User in AppData Folder
	local presetData = {};	
	presetData = SynthAndFXPresetsFile.loadAsObject();
			
	// Push User Presets to combined list.
	for (p in presetData)
	{
		allSynthPresetsNOW.push(p);
	}

	// Push Factory Presets to combined list. 
	for (f in factorySynthPresetsNOWB)
	{
		allSynthPresetsNOW.push(f);
	}
	
	allSynthPresetsNOW.sortNatural();
		
	// Check 'if preset exists' load presets data from combined list 'allSynthPrestsNOW'. 
	if (allSynthPresetsNOW)
	
								btnHPF.setValue(allSynthPresetsNOW[currentSynthPreset][0]);
								btnLPF.setValue(allSynthPresetsNOW[currentSynthPreset][1]);
								btnReverb.setValue(allSynthPresetsNOW[currentSynthPreset][2]);

*** Im just gonna talk this out here...

grab current preset name.
create an empty object to hold 'combined' keys.
declare both objects. 'factory presets' and 'user presets'.
loop/grab key/names from both objects and push them to 'combined' preset names.
.sortNatural() 'combined' preset list.
Check if 'preset/name/key' exists.
if object exists, load values by 'preset name'[viewport value] // Should match sorted list.

As far as my brain can figure out right now, this should work...but obviously not.

@Chazrox

reg variables only go in on init. Use local within inline functions.

You need curly braces

// Check 'if preset exists' load presets data from combined list 'allSynthPrestsNOW'. 
if (allSynthPresetsNOW)

The contents of that if statement looks very hard to maintain.

Chazrox

@d-healey how do I combine two objects?

d.healey

@Chazrox That can be difficult - I have a whole thread on it somewhere. How many levels deep do you need to combine?

Chazrox

@d-healey
Im WILLING! lol

//This is the situation I need, atleast as best as I understood your question. 

objectA[i] + objectB[i] = objectC;

d.healey

@Chazrox

What is in objectA and objectB? Give me some dummy data.

Chazrox

@d-healey

const var FactoryPresets = { [

"Default": [0,0,0,0],
"Rockin": [9,9,9,9]

]};

const var UserSavedPresets = { [

"Dummy1": [0,0,0,0],
"Dumber1": [9,9,9,9]

]};

// I need this....
const var AllPresetsCombined = {[

"Default": [0,0,0,0],
"Rockin": [9,9,9,9],
"Dummy1": [0,0,0,0],
"Dumber1": [9,9,9,9]

]};

this is an actual preset in my FactorySettings

  "DEFAULT": [
    1.0,
    0.0,
    0.0,
    0.0,
    0.0,
    382.0,
    20.0,
    0.0,
    0.0,
    0.0,
    0.0,
    1.0,
    0.0,
    0.0,
    0.0,
    0.0,
    0.0,
    0.0,
    0.0,
    0.0
  ]

d.healey

@Chazrox You have too many square brackets there, but I get the idea. You can combine these with a loop.

Here's an example:

inline function combineObjects(objA, objB)
{
    local result = {};

    for (x in objA)
        result[x] = objA[x];

    for (x in objB)
        result[x] = objB[x];

    return result;
}

If both objects contain an entry with the same key, the one from obj B will be the one that's used.

Chazrox

@d-healey That worked great! ok noooooow im done.

**I have 3 other menus. lol
