Plugin wont set up samples in MacOS

[Lindon]

it continues.....

So I compiled my new plugin, started it in reaper and it opens - but doesnt ask for the hr1 file and never sets up the LinkOSX file, so when it opens it has no samples in it...and makes no sound.

This is what the Mac HD/Users/myname/Library/Application Support/companyname/productname folder looks like:

as you can see no LinkOSX file....:-(

@lindon you haven't set the Extra Defs have you?
HISE_SAMPLE_DIALOG_SHOW_INSTALL_BUTTON=1
HISE_SAMPLE_DIALOG_SHOW_LOCATE_BUTTON=0

[Lindon]

@danh no I havent set either of these, perhaps I should (never had to before...)

[DanH]

@lindon I use that combo to get rid of the sample install screen upon startup. You could try different combiniation and see if that works but obviously you shouldn't need to as it should come up automatically.

You have a sampler in the project right?

[Lindon]

@danh I have 4 samplers and over 200 sample maps...

HISE_SAMPLE_DIALOG_SHOW_INSTALL_BUTTON=1

should show the sample set up button no?

[DanH]

@lindon you'd think so, but I remember none of it really worked as I thought it would

[Lindon]

@danh OK any one know how to get the default buttons for sample set up using the extra definitions?

[Matt_SF]

@lindon I had the same problem but the other way around ('install samples' flag seems to work but not the 'locate samples').

You can try by define those two in HISE's projucer file before compiling it but IIRC, for my last project it didn't fix the issue...

(HISE projucerFile > Modules > hi_core)

Oh boy, it's bad coding week over here. I've introduced a HISE_DEACTIVATE_OVERLAY preprocessor that lets you disable the entire dark overlay thingie (because let's be honest, it sucks), but I forgot to set the default value to the proper default (false), so it won't appear anymore even if you want it to.

Should be fixed now.

err.... is this whats causing the samples not to be set up?

[Christoph Hart]

@lindon No, that's causing the question where to install the samples never to be asked.

yep - same thing - I'm just not being clear....Okay well thats today written off then... hey ho should have tested on Windows first before just building there and then moving to build and test on MacOS....silly me.

Back to windows to redo everything...
