what issues?
So basically, you just want a style guide, like the thing that makes every Apple thing look the same. I can only imagine the pain of getting there through a consortium of equally entitled people trying to fight for their aesthetics making it into the official style guide.
I mean we can try, and if we come up with something good, then I'm happy to change the default HISE appearance and stock UI components to follow that style guide, but I'm modestly pessimistic that we get something usable out of the process.
sure - and NO I'm not asking for ANY change in HISE at all - in fact I think thats a bad idea.
So Apple style guide = the UI nazis - sure I get it... except we are not defining every possible widget the way they do AND more importantly we are not requiring "look" compliance, and even more importantly there are processes (like say download and install) that have nothing to do with look
-
@Lindon Or instead of an example, you can just try starting out with a sketch for said style guide. Then everybody here can join in and try to help in a MOST HELPFUL AND NON_SARCASTIC WAY - which will be hard for me too :)

@Christoph-Hart LOL..yep mea culpa.. .sorry guys.
But I did start with a list.... maybe we can take each of those in turn?

So let me start with the first item on my list: Download
- Kontakt downloads are ugly - and messy and filled with multiple file messing about .
I suggest we say to be compliant:
there must be one and one only mouse click that gets all the files required
- so this can be an in -plugin download or a download manager download, or an installer download, but basically it says on the Button:
Download all the files I need now
the user presses this and the downloads are attempted.

@Lindon Before you go crazy here I think we need to talk about a more suitable medium than a forum topic. Ideally it would be some sort of document that can have annotations and discussions around certain points, but the "actual" document is always readable in a non-cluttered way.
I don't have much experience in this, but I'm sure there is a better technical solution for this kind of problem (my gut feeling is that we're not the first people having to do this).

Yes good point - well I could start us off on Google Document - anyone wanting in could email me.
Better suggestions canvased...

@Lindon or a GitHub repository with a single markdown doc. this way we can track changes, look at old revisions, and have discussions at commits, pull requests etc.
Also since we're all not Mike, we know the process :)

yep that'd work.... who's better than me at github (sneak hint - its nearly everyone except Mike...)?
My only problem come to think of it is - it will restrict (put off) users without github knowledge, so yes the Mike's of this world - and I don't think this should get too HISE centric....(surprisingly)
So at some point soon I would think it would be best to broaden this out from "HISE developers"

This would be great. So the files are hosted on a server, the plugin downloads these, sets them all up automatically. I think this requires disabling the internal check for samples, didn't you (or someone) ask about it the other day?
If so, there should be a definitive guide on something like this. I guess Amazon S3 and Backblaze are what most people use these days (with Backblaze being around 10x cheaper).

definative guide for HISE developers -? sure.
