I love this idea.
That's the right idea. The important thing is: these attributes need to go in the preset file, not in an external location like preset coloring. Note however, when you import a preset, any fields that don't make sense in your local context, like favorites, should optionally be cleared.Maybe a 1-bit "FAVORITES" flag could be set in the preset file itself.
Ok but how would it know it doesn't "make sense in your local context"?That's the right idea.

If there was a way to batch set / clear, then when you import a vendor's presets you could clear all of them at once if you wanted to.I see the potential for third-party preset developers ...
Complex workflow...If there was a way to batch set / clear, then when you import a vendor's presets you could clear all of them at once if you wanted to.
Which are based on the URL, but we don't have URLs, nor are the presets/cabs given a UUID because there'd have to be some sort of registry, so then we fall back on using the name, which we know has flaws.Complex workflow...
The simplest is to handle this like browser bookmarks
The simple solution is what we currently have and it's not very satisfying. I quit using the color coding by name because it keeps breaking or squirting out the ends.Guys, let’s not make this more complicated as it is.
When you mark a preset as a favorite, you are expressing a personal opinion. It is only meaningful in your local context. So when I import a preset that came from you, the "favorite" attribute should be cleared. I have a lot of experience with this kind of thing in Omnisphere .Ok but how would it know it doesn't "make sense in your local context"?
Yes in theory it looks right but finally it doesn't mean anything...When you mark a preset as a favorite, you are expressing a personal opinion. It is only meaningful in your local context.

That's why I said it's optional. It works fine in practice .Yes in theory it looks right but finally it doesn't mean anything...
How would the editor know you're importing someone else's preset vs your own preset?
Maybe just ask whether to keep favorite markings when you import?That's why I said it's optional. It works fine in practice .
I'd be happy with a set list manager ( soon! ) that would allow me to create a setlist called favorites and load it with a click.
