Remove Sample Install Dialog

[Daanyoo]

Hello everyone,

I want to remove the install samples dialog on startup of the plugin, as I'm implementing my own initialisation flow using Expansions.

I researched the forum and found some posts regarding removal of the dialog and tried adding these preprocessors to my project:

HISE_DEACTIVATE_OVERLAY=1
HISE_SAMPLE_DIALOG_SHOW_INSTALL_BUTTON=0
HISE_SAMPLE_DIALOG_SHOW_LOCATE_BUTTON=0

Option 1 seemed to the latest approach to this problem, but I also saw some people using Option 2+3 for this. Unfortunately none of these options seem to work as my compiled plugin still prompts me to install the samples on the first startup...

What am I missing here?

Would really appreciate some input on this :)

@Daanyoo For Rhapsody I just use HISE_DEACTIVATE_OVERLAY=1 and it's working. Did you clean your project's build folder before recompiling?

[Daanyoo]

@David-Healey Do I need to remove the entire build folder? I just used to go into the Release folder and delete the .lib and .vst3 before recompiling

[David Healey]

@Daanyoo Yes but I usually do it from within HISE. Export >> Clean Build directory

@David-Healey Oh, thats a good hint - but it still didn't remove the dialog after recompilation..
This is the right place to put the definitions, isn't it?

Yes, if you're on OSX

@Daanyoo Are you sure the DAW is detecting the new version of the plugin?

[Daanyoo]

@dannytaurus I mean I'm removing the .vst3 from the VST3 folder and copy the new version into it - usually the DAW should detect the new version if the plugin has the same name... thats at least what it used to do

@Daanyoo build a standalone version to take the DAW out of the equation
