Consolidation of ROM data #13

Closed Kautenja closed 4 years ago

Kautenja commented 4 years ago

In DAWs like Ableton Live, one can "consolidate" files to ensure that a project file contains all necessary data to run the project (i.e., samples, plugins, etc.). Is it possible to consolidate the ROM file into the VCV Rack JSON? This way the patch can always load even if the ROM file moves between sessions. This would resolve one element in #2 by removing the need to serialize the file path and handle the file not existing when reloading the patch. Do other sample-based modules implement some form of consolidation?

20 introduces the capability for this, but it has been disabled for now due to high storage overhead.
