Bill,
I've added this debug code at the end of SaveState method in my subclass:

#if DEBUG
// test if presetName is retained in SaveData
CFStringRef name = reinterpret_cast<CFStringRef>(CFDictionaryGetValue (*dict, CFSTR(kAUPresetNameKey)));
CFShow(name);
printf("Saved preset name retain count: %ld\n", CFGetRetainCount(name));
#endif // DEBUG

and the result is always:
Untitled
Saved preset name retain count: 2147483647

- looks enough :)

The preset name is always the constant "Untitled" string made by CFSTR in AUBase.

Now I'm confused too and even more.

I'm confused... the preset name is not necessarily related to a factory preset.

When a preset is saved, the host is required to set one of these two properties with a name. At that point, the preset number becomes -1 and the AU Preset is saved along with the currently set name in this member variable. So, when this name is saved, your call to SetFactory preset won't be called (because you aren't actually setting a factory preset at that point), but the name of a user preset.

I would suggest debugging your AU whilst its running in the validator, and see why you aren't returning the name when the validator sets it before retrieving the preset.

I use original Panther SDK, I've compared the AUBase.cpp with the latest SDK and they are identical in DispatchGet/SetProperty for:
case kAudioUnitProperty_PresentPreset:
case kAudioUnitProperty_CurrentPreset:

I use dynamically generated list - CFArray with callbacks for retaining and releasing AUPresets.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Yes, a private variable. I thought SDK handles this...

It does, and the SampleEffect Unit that provides factory presets passes
validation without warnings.

then what should I do? My Save/Restore calls the AUBase methods and
adds/takes new properties (vstdata).

The problem is that the name set when setting either of these
properties:
case kAudioUnitProperty_PresentPreset:
case kAudioUnitProperty_CurrentPreset:

Is not being saved. In the latest releases of the SDK I can see in the
SetProperty implementation in AUBase how these two are being handled
correctly...

What version of the Apple - CoreAudio SDK are you based on?

And this is how I handle preset changes:

OSStatus LPAUSynth::NewFactoryPresetSet(const AUPreset& sPreset)
{
VST_PLUGIN_CLASS::setProgram(sPreset.presetNumber);
SetAFactoryPresetAsCurrent(sPreset);
return noErr;
}

Strange thing is, I receive this Warning, even if I don't provide
Factory_Presets property.

Thanks for advice
Pavol Markovic
