Preset Label Update

[pasmae]

Hello,
I have a label that shows the current preset name just like shown in the tutorial from @d-healey . Is it possible to update the label to indicate also manual changes on the UI (knobs, sliders, etc)? I'm thinking about adding a * to the preset name or showing "User" instead of the preset name.

@pasmae just check that the lavbel text doesnt already contain a * and if not add one...and on preset save remove any *

@Lindon How do I check with the script if a preset (the current UI state) was saved? (Still new to scripting... )
And I think that solution would only work for the moment that the preset ist saved, after a changing slider or knob value it would still hide the *, or am I wrong?

OK so - user loads a preset - so you show the preset name (lets call it "myCoolPre") in a text label

• when the user changes any control - in its call back:

• do whatever the control is supposed to do to the sound

• read the text in the label

• does this text contain a "*"?

  • if not then this is an un-modified preset - add a '*' to the front of the Name thus: "*myCoolPre"
  • if yes then this is already a modified preset - dont worry about it.

• when the user decides to save a preset

  • does the text contain a '*'?
    • if so remove the '*'
  • save the preset

@Lindon Ok, so I made two test buttons (I didn't figure out yet how to check the save function in the preset browser...)
The first one should represent a normal button on the UI, the second one the save function...
Am I on the right way at least?

//TEST Update Preset Label

inline function onButton20Control(component, value)
{
	var y = PresetNameLbl.get("text");
	var check = y.indexOf ("*");
	
	if (check == -1)
    {
        Content.getComponent("PresetNameLbl").set("text", "Current Preset: "+Engine.getCurrentUserPresetName()+"*");
    }
};

Content.getComponent("Button20").setControlCallback(onButton20Control);


//pretend SAVE function Button

inline function onButton21Control(component, value)
{
	if (check > -1)
    {
        Content.getComponent("PresetNameLbl").set("text", "Current Preset: "+Engine.getCurrentUserPresetName());
    }
    
    Engine.saveUserPreset("test");
};

Content.getComponent("Button21").setControlCallback(onButton21Control);
