I'm back after ripping apart my project and putting it back together. The "Mother-Network" that was originally structured in the exported scriptnode has now been recreated in the Module Tree.

The minimal module tree from before will be missed. RIP

I have a few important notes. You need to use Synth.getSlotFX() not Synth.getEffect() when making a reference to the HMFX processor when using the setEffect command. This allows you to load in the exported scriptnode to the module.

Other notable functions are exportState() and restoreState(). These can be used to copy/paste control states of the processors after they move. Use the Synth.getEffect() for this one. The exported string even stores the loaded effect. This means you can simply use this command instead of having to load the effect and then the parameter settings. Both processes are accomplished by this single command.

I still need to set up a system for all the UI controls to adapt their connections depending the updated locations for each module. That should be fun.

@aaronventure That was it! Thank you so much.

Issue was unrelated to HISE. The "User Preset" folder had admin privileges set to "Read-Only". Altered the settings of the installer to fix the issue.

@aaronventure Simply updating to the latest release did fix the issue. I can now export through HISE without having to edit the auto-built Xcode project.

BUT I was reminded of why I have been sticking with the release from September 2023. I have a separate project that uses FAUST and Scriptnodes. The newer versions of HISE crashes immediately upon trying to load this project. Can't remember if it is FAUST or Scriptnodes that causes this.

Solved one issue, and rediscovered another. I'll mark this post as solved since the main focus was resolved.

I ended up recreating the background and glass in affinity photo. Also removed the blur from the dots. All of this brought the time per frame down to 45ms. I'm happy with this. Especially since it means it will be slightly slower for ~1/3 of users.

Thank you for all your help @Christoph-Hart and @aaronventure

@obolig said in Reveal Location selector with WhiteBox Packages:

Many installers for Mac provide a "Location" or "Destination" column where the user is given the choice to specify the location they would like to install the samples (as shown below).

Firstly, how does one reveal this additional column using WhiteBox Packages.

Secondly, is it possible to use the selected destination update a user defined setting (AKA environment variable)?

We are all about dong custom installers these days... check this thread:

@obolig I appreciate that @Christoph-Hart has been a lot more active on the forum here. I may be in the minority in thinking that HISE doesn't need any more features – just more information about the ones that already exist. There's more than people realize, with direct access to FFT bins being the universal Turing machine of DSP.

In terms of companies using HISE, within the context of the ones I work with and advise, there is potentially significant interest in the JavaScript engine (not the sampler elements). From my perspective, the outwardly-facing obstacle is that there simply needs to be more than one person behind it to provide the necessary stability, maintenance of knowledge assets, and overall mitigation of inherent risk that is inherent with incorporating external systems into existing commercial ecosystems.

@obolig That's great, man! I am also happy to hear that the Apple certificate works as well. That is very good to know for future reference. Thanks for sharing that info.
