BTW, this is my preferred system of handling presets.electro wrote:... folder tree based ... can see everything for import .syx, .fxp, .wav etc.
No proprietary format stunts handled through a convoluted preset manager with features i simply dont need, the plugin should simply allow me to specify a main dir and then give me a dropdown or browser that lists all of that dirs subfolders and the standard FXPs contained within them. This allows me to organize/categorize/whateverize my presets in any way i see fit and banks in the traditional sense wont be even necessary. (Plus you will never run into any bank slot limits either.) Sharing presets with other people is easy too; ZIP up the folder containing the presets, give the archive to your buddy or customer, they extract it into their dir and thats that. Next time they instantiate the plugin the presets will be ready for use.
There are quite a few plugins that handle presets in exactly this way (and others that do it at least close to this way), and personally i have yet to see a better system because for me and my preferred way of doing things its just perfect. Personally i wouldnt mind at all if this was the standard, but of course my preferred way of doing things is not necessarily everyone elses preferred way of doing things, so i couldnt really expect that.
