@bwsounds You're selecting expansions / factory etc through the preset browser, right?

Does the expansion callback trigger when you deselect the expansion and return to the "factory" setup?

yep

originally yes, but i switched to a combobox as I thought it would help me with this issue.

@bwsounds In your expansion callback you are checking if newExpansion is defined, when you revert to the factory setup newExpansion will be "" which is also defined, so you won't hit the else clause.

@d-healey @DanH
ok thank you guys for your help, last question.

Does if make a difference whether I use a expansion install script to install the expansions or just add a button to the interface that opens up a browser window to the expansion folder and let the user drop the expansion in there?

Are you referring to the built in expansion installer function for .hr files?

yes, do I NEED to do that for expansions?

[DanH]

@bwsounds I think you can roll your own installer as long as everything goes in the right place. But you won’t be able to install from your plugin.

No, but it helps
