VDMX Project Preset Snapshot INFO

So in wanting to get Project Presets to work in a more customized fashion and I find them not really useful. (read this post)

Project Preset - problem when restoring old Presets

So a while back I stopped using Project presets as there were to difficult to use when you change something in your master project. I started using them again as was coming up with some cool snapshots I should save. This week was working and realized that there were some changes I had to make regarding some of my Recievers and senders. Update those and save my project. Then later in the night I load one of my presets from the week before and yup those new assignments get lost. Yeah I know …

I’ve decide to start looking into what gets stored within the Presets in a project file.

The layers of snapshot data run pretty deep but it is possible to eventually have a seperate program that can do some enabling, disabling, copy / pasting between projects and presets.

Here is the XML plist that i’ve parsed from the 2CH Mixer template project.
I only included the Presets Info from the files:

VDMX 2CH Test_Plist_Presets.plist.zip (8.0 KB)

You can also view the XML and it in a tree form (on the right) at this link:
XML preview and Tree

Please let me know if anyone else is interested in this as I progress or if your may find it useful

Thanks! I too have similar issues consolidating presets from messy playtime projects into streamlined organized ones for live gigs. Beyond that the presets could be used in so many helpful ways but it’s all a bit cumbersome filled with gotchas at every turn (in my prev exp) would be. Rey interested to hear about your endeavors into making the process more manageable
