    Hi Frits
    Quick question about large file presets.. I notice that plugs like energyXT and DoppelMangler, which both need to save alot of data in presets, will crash when projects are reloaded. The workaround is to create Bank presets instead of individual presets, and the crashing stops.

    What is the maximum size of individual presets that is allowed, that won’t crash Podium when presets are reloaded? And, if you know what this size is, can you pop up an alert if a user tries to save an individual preset that is too big that says something like “This preset size is too large, please save a Bank preset instead”?

    (Try it yourself if you have a moment to spare: insert energyXT as an instrument on a track, press CTRL+P and save the project, then try reloading it… crashes every time for me, until I save it as a bank preset)

    Cheers

    The limit for both program and bank library presets is 256 MB. If a plugin reports a preset size bigger than this, Podium will display an error message.

    I notice that plugs like energyXT and DoppelMangler, which both need to save alot of data in presets, will crash when projects are reloaded.

    Does the crash occur during the project load command, or when you activate monitoring of the loaded project? Maybe the crash occurs when the previous project is unloaded, so if you select ‘new project’ before reloading the project, when does the crash occur?

    I briefly tried storing both program and bank library presets with eXT (1.4), and I could not provoke a crash when reloading the project. If you have a project file that crashes, please email it to me.

    Hi Frits
    The crash was occuring in energyXT 1.3.5, whenever I activated a project. I tried it with the eXT 1.4 beta, and the crash doesn’t occur any more. They must have fixed up some bug in eXT, so this thread is closed. Thanks for looking into it
