Automatic reloading of previously used settings
Posted: Fri Nov 29, 2019 12:10 pm
Hello guys!
Our good friend Johan (djbrynte) asked me to help with something he wanted, but I confess it’s beyond me. Because he’s not confident with English, I offered to post here on his behalf.
If it’s actually possible, I feel convinced it would need a significant Ruby solution far beyond my basic grasp. So maybe someone here could help.
What he wants is a system whereby he would load a plugin for a new song, but the plugin would automatically restore all the settings when it was last used (in another song).
I believe this would require the creation of something like an ini file which was written to when any settings were changed. Then, when the plugin was next used, it would read the ini file and restore the last-used bank of presets.
Of course one could save a preset bank and reload that bank for a new song, but he would like it to be automatic.
We would really appreciate comments, ideas and, of course, solutions. If it’s NOT possible that’s also a valid response!
Cheers
Spogg
