How to Save a Preset?

[clevername27]

I realise this may be obvious, but I can't seem to save a preset. I simply have this statement in my code…

Engine.saveUserPreset("Test Preset");

…but no file is written. (I'm expecting a file to be created with component values I've set the save-in-preset flag to, and addModuleStateToUserPreset data.)

What am I missing?

Thank you.

@clevername27 This function saves onto a currently loaded file. This means the file has to exist first.

@ustk Thank you for your reply. If Engine.saveUserPreset doesn't create a file, then how does it get created?

File/FileSystem API

	inline function savePresetAs()
	{
		FileSystem.browse(FileSystem.getFolder(FileSystem.UserPresets), true, "*.preset", function(f)
		{
			var filePath = f.toString(File.FullPath);
			var parentDirectory = f.getParentDirectory().toString(File.FullPath);
			var userPresetsDirectory = FileSystem.getFolder(FileSystem.UserPresets).toString(File.FullPath);
			
			if (parentDirectory == userPresetsDirectory)
				return Engine.showMessageBox("Invalid Location", "Please choose a sub folder to store the preset.", 0);
				
			if (!filePath.contains(userPresetsDirectory))
				return Engine.showMessageBox("Invalid Location", "Please save the preset within the User Presets folder.", 0);

			Engine.saveUserPreset(f.toString(File.FullPath).replace(".preset"));
		});
	}

@d-healey I don't care if you are using HISE to make "virtual instruments" (as if that's a real thing). You're alright.
