Default Preset folders

Developer VST 3 SDK
1

Hi,
Newbie question here…
Is there any solution to add some Preset folders? I’ve created my presets but if I do want to organize them as;

  • DRUM (Folder)
    *Snare
    *Drum Mix

  • GUITAR (Folder)
    *Electric Gtr A
    *Electric Gtr B

I couldn’t find any sample project in the SDK.

Thank you,
Jan

What do you want to achieve with the sorting into sub folders?

Hi Arne,
I just want to put all of my factory presets into sub folders. It’s easy to add those sub folders for the AAX format but I couldn’t find any solution to add them into VST3.

Thank you,
Jan

Your installer can just create this folders. I don’'t know which support do you expect from the SDK here. What does the AAX SDK provide?

Yes, I can add this presets folders by using my installer but as I want to have my own “save preset” system which will allow the user to save their presets where they wish to save them.
I’ve searched a bit more on this subject but maybe we can’t do that… btw I use the VST Editor and #ASPIK for creating my projects.

Thank you,
Jan

As you said, you want to have your own “Save Preset” system, how should a SDK help you? Maybe you missed the Vet::PresetFile class in vstpresetfile.cpp. That way you can write vst presets where ever you like.
