Preset Manager_Auto save/load.

[billv]

This is the Preset manager configured to save/load automatically,
so there's no manual save/load routine needed to be done by the user.

Seems as though Trog was right(as usual)..
it can be done...there's no need for an alternate preset system....

This is probably the no.1 feature I've wanted over the years...real happy to get it going

Have tested in FL,Live and Reaper......seems to work great.

Hope that it's usefull, and that you guys can maybe find some bugs in it.....

What is it supposed to do? Or rather what did you change in the preset manager?

[billv]

I just replaced the 'file' dialogs basicly. with another set-up.

Preset names are saved to file in 1 array with "about to close" prim...
And reloaded on afterload.

Each preset is a separate file and is loaded on index change.
(So flicking presets on the fly should be a 'little' slow ....probably better
to put all those presets on 1 array, and just load it once,
then feed the data on index change....still thinking about it..)

Why....?????
When using VST , the user can just save into a Preset Manager slot.

wouldnt it be enough to just trigger the save input of the pm primitive?

just installed greenshot to make screenshots and easily put arrows and stuff on it

No...that works in FS....but in VST/Standalone mode....nothing is there on plug-in reload.
Its always been like that . Very fustrating that the VST/standalone user can't use the
Preset manager just like we do in FS-save straight into slot..and it's there...

This VST/Standalone preset issue has led people(like me) to make "alternate" preset systems,
and you can see this in the last X11 Update, it's a very messy/ugly way to go about it.

I guess the file dialogs could be included, and bring back the option to save/load manually.

I'm still worried about the speed of it. And can only see 3 options to fix....
1. Stick all presets on 1 array and just load the one file on startup
2. Wrapping it all up into that dll componant thing might be possible....but I don't know C....
3. DSPR make a New Preset manager with option for autosaving..

[Nubeat7]

oh, you are talking about standalone, never tested this a lot..

didn`t know that because your example is a plugin

[billv]

Sorry nubeat7...i shouldn't have said the word 'standalone'.....confuses things
Its VST.
Here's version 2...
Just one button added, "Use current preset as default".

Got it going as standalone as well.
Working great either in FS/VST or Standalone now.
