Please allow presets and packs to use a custom location. This would enable
- Smaller disc footprint when separate from the os / system drive
- Easier cloud storage or other synched backup
- Increased interest in creating my own packs
(also currently thwarted via custom pack image shenanigans)
first of my posts warning: I know I can read as angry but it is instead me trying to sense make; I am very much capable of laughing at myself and forever BS in Computer Science live in error.
Many years in software both as mentor and tormentor give me a perfectly contextless hypothesis that it should not require much implementation as the pack, well, export but I wanted to say packing processcreates what looks like the same requisite model w/ both .xml and .db; also my VST3 lives happily by its lonesome in a custom folder on the D not C drive insanity!
once you see good UX you cannot cannot unsee bad UX
This could seem minor if I lived entirely in my XXXtra large SubLab, but this is one of many key instruments in my arsenal that I would much prefer to champion over mixed review or even deride.
