Expansion Tutorial

[Dan Korneff]

I'm using a label to display the current preset name.
If I load a preset from an expansion, save the session in DAW and reopen, the preset label is blank. Engine.getCurrentUserPresetName() returns nothing. If I open and close the preset browser, the label text gets populated.
Anyone else experience this?
Engine.getCurrentUserPresetName() works as expected with the User Presets. (preset name is always restored)

@dustbro I am using this method. No problem here. Also you can put an invisible button above the label to open the preset browser.

I Tried This Method.
By Hitting f5 Over This, It Jumps To The Next Preset And Can Cause Changes When You Open Your Saved Projects In Your Daw.

Yes of course it's normal :) Because it'set to load next preset.

Before saving the Hise project, only you have to do is selecting the first preset (this first preset is the initialization preset that your plugins opens with), and then saving the project xml and save archive at the same time. If the first preset and save archive settings are different, there will be glitch. So, First Preset - Save XML - Save Archive must be same.

Advantage of this thing is, on the initialization, the plugin always initialize with the first preset and automatically selects it. Also it doesn't jump over to next preset when the DAW project is loaded.

[Dan Korneff]

@orange Using a timer to update the label was the missing element. For some reason I haven't needed to do with with regular presets. I guess the expansion data takes a split second longer to initialize.
Thanks for the snip!

I just want people to get acquainted with the basic functionality before taking the next step.

Ready!

[d.healey]

@dustbro Ready here also :D

@Christoph-Hart Amazing! Thanks Christoph!

@Christoph-Hart When we organise a HISE meet up I'll buy you a drink or 6

@d-healey I'm not sure I want to see in what language he can code after 6 drinks... Have you ever seen the size of the glasses in Germany?

Oh yes, when I was 14 I was a foreign exchange student and spent a couple of weeks living with a German family drinking beer :D

Thank you! very cool stuff, as always...

[yall]

if I understood correctly, the .hxi file will group together all the files usually found in the extension? to put it simply, the extension will no longer look like a "mini project"?

[Christoph Hart]

Yes, the mini project is just for development, at the end you get one file with a customizable amount of encryption (if you don't care about it, then pick 1234 as blowfish key).
