[resolved, mistake in the documentation] Track/TakeFX_GetPreset() return value bug

[Buy One]

As per the doc

Returns false if the current FX parameters do not exactly match the preset (in other words, if the user loaded the preset but moved the knobs afterward)

Which doesn't seem to be the case. Changing plugin settings doesn't result in function returning false

Hello Buy_One,

Same with me; I am also relying on the information whether an effect's preset has been changed and the return value is also always true (which is incorrect according to the specification).

I am working in Lua and in Windows 10, version 6.79

Best regards,

I just had an idea that the function may have not worked with embedded (stock) presets which i had used in the showcase, but did with user presets.

But no, doesn't work with any type of preset.

It looks like this is an error in the documentation. There's nothing in the implementation that suggests the function ever worked this way.

What does the truth indicate then and when is the return value false?

Let's sort it out on either side, programmatic or documentary

For now, the function always returns true if the inputs are valid.

OK, is this technically possible to make it behave according to the description in the doc?

And if it is, can this feature be implemented any time soon?

Not easily, and not consistently for all plugin types, unfortunately.

OK, understood
