Preset problem

[Lindon]

..hmm whats wrong with this piece of code?

		local plist = Engine.getUserPresetList();
		for (i = 0;i<plist.length;i++)
		{
			if(plist[i].contains(myPresetName.get("text")))
			{
				Console.print(plist[i]);
				Console.print(plist[i+1]);
				Engine.loadUserPreset(plist[i+1]);
			}
		} 

when it runs it prints the required preset name, and then tells me it doesnt exist:

Interface: ALL/00 - Solo Instruments/00 - Brass Stacks
Interface: ALL/00 - Solo Instruments/01 - Trumpet
Interface:! NF_Presets.js (115): User preset F:\Audio\Channel Robot\Hise_Work\Nightfox\BrassStacks\UserPresets\ALL\00 - Solo Instruments\01 - Trumpet doesn't exist

@Lindon loadUserPreset takes a relative path or a file object. Looks like you're passing an absolute path. My mistake. I think you just need to add the file extension .preset

@d-healey - thanks yep - works like a dream....

Should I remove the ability of passing in anything else than a file object? This will prevent those kind of problems in the future...

[d.healey]

@Christoph-Hart I think it can be useful to pass in a string the way Lindon is, it skips out the step of having to get the file from the path (which would still require him to add the file extension).

agreed.

[Christoph Hart]

Alright, then we'll keep it that way. In my brain the method is broken if you don't pass in a file object so I will never use it like that, but if it works for you :)

@Christoph-Hart its more about being able to use it with the results of

Engine.getUserPresetList();
