Export tool
-
I'm currently building an app which I hope will allow batch exporting of HISE projects, auto notarization on Mac, and auto-generating installers. So far I have the basics working on GNUx. I need to finish the interface and add the batch handling, but that shouldn't be too difficult, then I'll tackle the other platforms.
This app should make it much easier for everyone (and especially beginners) to export their projects from HISE and build installers.
This is what it looks like so far (it's an ugly work in progress).
-
wow, beautiful !
-
that's really good. I can not create an installer in .exe on windows and .dmg on mac
-
@yall .pkg on Mac.
-
@d-healey fantastic, thank you David, this one will for sure be of a lot of help for many!
-
@d-healey nice!!!!!!!
-
@d-healey you understand why it's complicated for me
-
Amazing! I badly need something like this!!!
-
-
@d-healey --er are you not also going to need the developer ID password, and the Apple ID password for altool?
-
@Lindon There are boxes in the settings screen to enter them.
-
@d-healey AAX? finger crossed
-
@hisefilo I know nothing about exporting AAX so I will need input (and testing) from others to implement it. It won't be an option in the initial release.
-
@d-healey ok! Love the idea. Hope we can get this soon. Also if you need to test with an Apple ID, I do have one
-
-
Amazing! Looking forward to this
-
That's a great idea, thanks mate!
-
That's a brave undertaking on your behalf @d-healey
One of the reasons why I never use HISE plugin compiler is because I can't specify the VST3 category of my plugins, which Projucer allows. You may want to include that option.
This is my approach on choosing an installer builder software:
The look of the actual installing process that an end user sees is important to me. I need to be able to customize it to follow my branding, to be able to display custom text and images, and to have a uniform look across platforms. Add to that an ability to create a file that points to the sample installation location in order to avoid having to specify it once the plugin is initialized.I'll be curious to see what you come up with.

This will need to be added to HISE as a CLI option, I'll look into it.

I've just been looking into this. When I export a VST3 instrument from HISE and open the .jucer file it creates the VST3 category is set to instrument and when I export an FX plugin from HISE it sets the category to FX. So it seems like it's already there.
Interestingly though when I open the .jucer file in a text editor I can't see any mention of the VST category, even if I resave the file in projucer first.
