I dunno if someone else has posted this bug before. If so then I’m sorry.
Pretty much self explaining title. Say that you have to load an external preset bank into a plugin. This shouldn’t be that hard in normal cases. You just locate the file, and click Open, and the file is loaded. The open dialog box seams to freeze somehow. I dunno why it does, but it is really annoying. I tried to switch back to Renoise. No luck. I tried to click to the plugin in question. No luck. Tried to close the dialog box with the close button. No luck. I dunno why this happens, no error message is displayed. I hope this description helps you guys to determine the cause of this bug.
Hello Jobro,
Do you experience this with all your plugins or with one or a vendor specific range of plugins?furthermore, which platform are you using Renoise on? (Windows, Mac, Linux) and if on Mac, are you discussing AU or VST? If you are on Linux, is this LADSPA or VST?
Are you using the 64-bit version of Renoise or the 32-bit version? And what bit-versions are you using of the plugins that are giving troubles?
I’m using Windows 7 64 bit with Renoise 64 bit. Some plugins are 64 bits, and some are 32 bits.
I’m having this issue with all plugins from all vendors. Do you guys want me to create a VST plugin that shows dialog boxes by a press of a button, so you can examine this bug further?
I’ve installed Ubuntu recently, but since it’s just for my own interest in learning Linux I won’t install Renoise on it. And besides I can only get 800x600 resolution in Ubuntu as of now.
I created this dialog test VST plugin. A crappy VST synth that’s only purpose is to let you guys test the dialog box issue in bridged plugins. Just press the buttons to launch the requested dialog.
Not that Synthmaker is the ideal way to offer test programs (because there might be an issue with Synthmaker as well)
I have tested your program, but i can’t reproduce your issue.
The only thing i’m not sure about is if one is able to save a preset or bank in it, but all dialogs open just fine and i can select any fxp and fxb.
I could not find back any fxb or fxp that i tried to save with it but then again, is that also something you don’t achieve either or is that not implemented at all?
If you have the problem with all plugins, check your Windows environment if not something is messing with your explorer settings (virus or something different that is interfering with the explorer dialog API).
