I do not believe that there is any automatic means for doing what
you want. However, you could add your own UI for importing a
foreign preset. All of the code for loading presets is open source,
so you should be able to load the foreign preset, translate it, and
then use it as a native preset.
This solution would require manual operation by users, and I assume
you would prefer this to be transparent, but I think it will be rare
that users actively create presets in both Carbon and Cocoa
flavors. It seems more likely that public presets should be
authored in both formats, and you can hopefully offer a translation
tool, while private presets should typically be only for the primary
UI flavor that the user gets with their favorite DAW. Users who
regularly switch between multiple DAWs, where they get both Carbon
and Cocoa UI plugins, will probably have a mess to deal with, and
thus need the foreign preset import.
Good luck!
Thanks Brian, that pretty much covers it. I'm not sure this split
personality plugin approach is such a great idea anymore. In fact, it
is a pain for all involved. Another reason I took this approach was
so that I could remove all the Carbon code/framework and build a 64
bit version. If I'm not mistaken the proper way to do that would be
to package the Carbon view up into a separate component?
Thanks,
Stephen
