Topic: Request for the Filter Display Presets panel

Filter Display Presets
Could Modartt allow you to create Folders and subfolders to help organise the large amount of pianos that could be created in pianoteq. Even with just the original supplied pianos, the list is getting longer, but when you turn on all your pianos its becomes unmanageable. I've moved many pianos out of the list.

At the moment, I open the folders I want in a separate window on my PC, then drag them onto the Pianoteq interface to load them; especially fxp files supplied by other users. It would be nice to have a view of the folders built into the interface.

I'd also like to see the ability to turn on and off individual pianos within any piano set: i.e. display just the 'YC5 Studio player' from YC5 set, the 'M3 Player' from the M3 set, the 'C3 Player' from the C3 set, etc.

Thanks

Re: Request for the Filter Display Presets panel

Hey, Don. You can do this now. Just create the folders in Windows Explorer as subfolders under the main Presets folder. (C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Modartt\PianoTeq\Presets.) Assuming you use Windows. I imagine it works the same for Macs.

They'll show up in the Preset manager, at the bottom of the list under the Search box, and you can then right-click on any preset in the Preset list, click on Move, and then assign the preset to the folder. Or just move them into the folders in Explorer.

You can set your own folder for Pianoteq presets, addons and midi config settings, as well.

I find that way better than just saying one path that doesn't necessarily need to be fixed. And Jake's path is Vista and W7 related, it doesn't exist in Win XP.

Hard work and guts!

Re: Request for the Filter Display Presets panel

I'd forgotten--yeah, in the new version, on the General tab of the Options dialogue box you can set a main folder.

But I'd be careful to move everything each time a new release of the program comes out. Otherwise, you might forget that your presets were in the old version's Presets folder, and delete everything by doing an uninstall. (I don't know for certain that uninstalling an older version would delete its Presets folder, but I don't want to try the experiment...)

Future Pianoteq updates will quite possibly continue to use the folder which user set up. No worries there.
