'Text Load Primitive keeps previous String'

I think it's a bug...

If the prim didn't find the file and sends no done trigger the output string should be cleared => string length = 0

Version number, test case please? There is a small chance that the issue is on your end. The link-order can be tricky sometimes; I've messed that up myself.

OK:

1. just load a textfile 2. Hit load trigger, if all works fine: 3. change filename so it can't load it (like filename.TX_)... 4. Hit load trigger again 5. et voila: the contents output string is still the same...

Tested with beta5...

Workaround:

Note: trigger order is to Flipper (boolean switch) first then Load.

One could argue this bug is a feature. If you have the option of loading a wave, for example, you might not want an empty string propagated through your program but instead leave the previous successful load in place.

If the proposed behaviour is implemented, anyone requiring the current behaviour would need this workaround:

Thanks Leif!

My workaround looks a little different than yours 😉

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.

    Want to keep that track’s sound? Start a new song in SynthMaker first (Song › New song), then open this.
