[SOLVED] Preset number parameter export

[boonier]

HI, Just downloaded the latest version 0.9702 and I'm having an issue with the said exported parameter

THe preset in question is a constant with 8 presets for values, and i'm exporting it as a dropdown gui. Whenever I change it it snaps to the first preset and appears to lock down so no amount of changing helps.

Just try creating a new group, stick a constant in there and give it a few presets, export the preset number of the constant to the gui as a choice, and trying changing the preset in the group gui

cheers

I'll have a look at the beginning of the (work) week.

It works fine for me following the quick instructions, if you have a simple layout showing the problem, please send it.

[boonier]

hmm yeah just tried problem patch on a different machine....works fine. Must be corrupt prefs or something

cheers anyway

Tangential issue. If you have a preset number of a group inside a group exported to the parent group gui, and then have a param link which changes the preset number from the child group, the change happens but is not reflected in the parent group gui.

[sondod]

Addendum, you actually have to link both the parent and child presets to get the change to be reflected all around.
*edit* that doesn't work well though because you get double triggers. Trying to figure out the work around for this.

[seb@plogue]

You mean :

Group A contains Group B,
Group B has presets
Group A parameters list contains Group B preset number
Modulation is done directly on Group B

or something more complex?

A very simplistic case for that is working for me.

[sondod]

That was it. I'm getting all sorts of anomalous behavior. I actually think I had that working for a second. But then reverted back to not working. Now I'm thinking it could be related to the saved preset info thingamajig.

In the last stages (setting up presets) of a last minute crunch to get ready by thurs. Doing a lot of testing right now so forgive me if I'm double and triple posting.

HI

This seems to have reared its head again. Doesn't seem to be a problem on the old ppc laptop i have, only the intel i'm on now (running 10.5.8 and bidule .9702. Trying to select a preset through the parent group gui is not working, The parameter in question is the preset number of a constant....it just sticks to the first of its presets.

attached is the simplest example i could muster

cheers

oops now it is!

HI - THis still appears to be a problem on the latest .9705 as of today. I've updated the layout attached so it includes another test case...

Again it only seems to occur on my intel machine.

[seb@plogue]

Haven't had the time to look at it last week, I just had to release the version before going back into bug hunting...

No worries dude, it wasn't exactly a show stopper. In fact no one else i reckon will be having the same issue

Interestingly, I just tested it on another mac intel (exactly the same as the 'problem' machine) except this one's running 10.6.3. There is no problem with the same patch as i have on the other machine...

I've tried deleting and reinstalling Bidule, and trashing the preferences. No idea what it could be A Leopard vs Snow Leopard thing? (the ppc machine mentioned earlier is running Tiger 10.4.11)

cheers

HI Seb,
have you had a chance to look into this? I was just trying one of Jersmi's sequencer patches and getting the problem, so it's not just ones i've created...
thanks

Right, user error. I found an extra 'conflicting' (?) prefs file in a the user preferences folder that was named something like PlogueBidule preferences. I did not know that there were 2 pref files. This has fix my problem. So for future reference, to delete bidule prefs files:

com.plogue.bidule.plist
PlogueBidule Preferences

Hope this helps someone,

Sorry for the bother!

PS. Seb, any particular reason why there are 2 files?
