When exactly are the after load events(triggers) suposed to fire?
Here's what I thought happened...
The preset file prim only fires after a file is loaded/saved...Correct?
The preset Manager should also Fire its after program Change as a result of loading a preset file..No?
On loading a saved project in the daw, not using the Preset File Prim in any way, the Preset Managaer should fire a After program change correct?
I'm not seeing that...
I am not seeing any events fired after a daw loads a saved project...Should there be? Or did I miss the memo?

Put a de-threader after it... it's usually what's missing for a correct functionning...

HAHA REALLY, Cool I'll check that tek..
Thanks

Tried the dethreader and that was not it. What I did do though that did work is take the output of the string preset and connect that to the load trigger of the bmp prim and it worked. This particular area loads graphics from preset files. So the name of the file comes from a strnng VST parm and gets connected to a BMP Load, what I need the event for is to tell it when to load a new BMP..
HAHA So there's another two days I won't get back..🙂

Glad you sorted it out...
Everyday's full of surprises... I'm going mad with the shell exec and windows cmd at the time...it starts to drive me crazy... and very tired too....
What's working on one computer is not on an another...question of delays and CPU speed... I have to juggle with afterload delays to find an average time working on slow pcs and fast ones... really driving me crazy...
McBarGig ·
Three points about that...
1) Set the "Back" parameter to false, this is paramount because it won't matter how slow or fast the computer is.
2) Sometimes its path problems too, so change the "\" to "/" and enclose the arugument in quotes..
3) When all else fails Write a script and make a single call to it, at least you have more control there..🙂
Hope that helps..

Thanks for the advices.
batch script looks like the way too go...
Hoping for Ruby like anybody else...

Tek what is it you need it for, I may already have something for you as my latest project relies extremely heavily on external processing..

Hey McBarGig,
this is really nice of you, I really appreciate the offer! 🙂
I'm actually working on a few projects which relies on Windows CMDs like Dir, find etc...
Here is a piece of what I've done so far:
I've also implemented it into my last project that you can find there:

I'll let you know if I need something better or if this reveals itself to be buggy...
Thx again for the offer and also, let me know if I can help you in anyway...
Cheers
