Full Instrument Expansions - how, what where....

@David-Healey said in Full Instrument Expansions - how, what where....:

for(e in eh.getExpansionList())
Console.print(e.getProperties().Name);

done:

reg eh = Engine.createExpansionHandler();
reg expansionList = eh.getExpansionList();
for(e in eh.getExpansionList())
    Console.print("we have found expansion:" + e.getProperties().Name);

and the output is.....

Interface: USER SAMPLES LOCATION:D:\AudioContent\NomadSounds
Interface: library panel repaint getting called

As I say its not finding any expansions in the AppData folder structure...

the app data folder is:C:\Users\Lindon\AppData\Roaming\NomadSounds\KeyEngine

What did you use to print this?

[Lindon]

@David-Healey

Console.print("the app data folder is:" + FileSystem.getFolder(FileSystem.AppData).toString(0));

[Lindon]

@Lindon this is right yes?

[David Healey]

@Lindon Looks correct. I just noticed I'm compiling HISE with the HISE_ENABLE_EXPANSIONS=1 and HI_ENABLE_EXPANSION_EDITING=1 preprocessor definition2, I don't know if they are required though.

In your expansion projects you should leave the Expansion Type set to Disabled.

[Lindon]

@David-Healey looks like Im not - so let me go try that...(why was it working before tho?)

[David Healey]

@Lindon Dunno, just trying to find any differences between our setups.

[Lindon]

@David-Healey yeah...so doing this:

[Lindon]

@David-Healey -- sadly no different. Still not finding any expansions...

[Lindon]

..built an all new test loader - same problem - so its not the project, its something Im (not) doing...

[Lindon]

@David-Healey how long has this been working for you? Im on a HISE from April last year....

[David Healey]

@Lindon I've been using it for years

[Lindon]

@David-Healey Im all out of ideas.....can I send you the test loader and the expansion?

[Lindon]

@David-Healey oh, well... its working in the compiled plugin...

just not in HISE itself....

[Lindon]

@Lindon sigh..but not in the actual Player....

[Lindon]

grrrr..nope cant get it to load in the compiled plugin either....

[Lindon]

@David-Healey
Grasping at straws..

This is what you are doing?

[David Healey]

@Lindon yes, and sure send the project over

[David Healey]

So this led me to the answer Console.print(FileSystem.getFolder(FileSystem.Expansions).toString(0));

It returns the folder inside the project folder instead of the App Data folder.

So I checked what I was doing in Rhapsody, and in my project folder's Expansions folder, I have a Link file with the path to the Expansions folder in AppData. It basically does the opposite of the "Link Expansions to Project" setting in project preferences.
