Marc,
But your proposed "general" solutions are not general, they are
VST-specific, and that's the problem. There are some places where VST
and
AU simply do not operate the same, and special attention to each is
needed. I really don't know what the hell you keep referring to about
me
saying "you have to do my way, I don't care what you want." I'm
trying to
suggest a solution to make your users happy, but yes, I'm not
suggesting
anything to make you happy.
My problem with you is that you decide what is best, not the user. If
you don't need the (optional) functionality I request, why don't you
stop moaning? Why do you care? I am not rallying for support here, I
just wanted to make it clear to Apple and involved parties that there
are developers out there who think it might be a good idea to make
available what people are used to for several years now.
Stop your "everybody who thinks different than me is an idiot" crusade
and allow people to "think different" ;^)
I don't want to take anything away from you, I just would like the
functionality people are used to for years added into the API. You must
admit that the preset management in VST is pretty simple, for the host
AND the plugin. In the minimum case you need four functions. Two of
them are already in AU (get/setParameter), two new ones would need to
be added (get/setProgram). The SaveState and RestoreState just would
need an additional parameter (bool isBank).
That is a no-brainer to implement for the host and plugin side. It
could be optional. It's *added* value. Nothing gets lost. The host can
still provide a list of files on the HD and overwrite the edit buffer
(like it does now). Just think about giving people a choice.
Hope you can be more constructive in the future instead of flaming me
for wrong assumptions I made because of the poor docs and me beeing so
stupid to assume that such a simple and established concept like
"banks" exists in AU world.
-Mike
