@DanH Thanks. Yes I wanted a very simple install so I wrote some custom code to look for a file called Samples.hr1 in the Application Data folder. If it finds it, it does the automated install, loads the first preset so you don’t need a reboot.

UPDATE: I added a new method to MacroConnectionListener virtual void macroLoadedFromValueTree(int macroIndex, float value){} which I call when a new value tree is loaded for the macros. My custom component calls setMacroControl on the sliderValueChanged callback, and updates the slider value on the macroLoadedFromValueTree callback.

To watch the parameter, I search for the first parameter for that macro index and set up a parameter watcher, converting the NormalisableRange to a linear 0 to 1 value in the callback.

Since parameters can change with every preset, I set that parameter watcher up at the same time macroLoadedFromValueTree is called making sure to dispatch to the MessageManager for any repaints.

It's not as convenient as a UIConnection class, but it works.

I'm Raw.cpp constructor, I'm calling addToUserPreset with various attributes. Is that way you mean?

You can actually use the normal image handling of HISE in C++ projects. Just make sure that the image is loaded somewhere on your scripted interface before you export, then call

auto myImage = hise::raw::Pool::loadImage("{PROJECT_FOLDER}MyImage.png");

You get some benefits over the traditional BinaryData approach: the images are shared across plugin instances and are more compressed.

Ok. I understand better now. You create "User Presets", but they got bundled along as factory content. I have to add controls to the Interface designer, so they're part of the preset. But then I have to hide them when using the External Floating Tile with C++ JUCE GUI. And the presets only affect the single chain you've created, which can involve many samplers you can enable and disable.

That gets a little tedious having to hide and show controls all the time since I don't want any of them to show, but seems to be working.

UPDATE: Small tip is to place all those controls in a single Floating Tile, and then just show and hide that one component as needed.
