How does one import a .vvp file? #77

It seems there's some assumption in place that users will be saving their exports to a "Presets" directory. In my case, this fixed "Presets" directory is set as ~/.Vaporizer2/Presets

From a data recovery perspective, I would never use a material-agnostic location like this to store work. Best practices would be to keep related material together. To that end, I've used the "Save" button to export a custom patch to an appropriate location in my file system but I see no "Load" or "Import" button.

How does one import a .vvp file? Are people just manually copying to their static "Presets" directory?

Hm, yes. Presets are assumed to be located in the preset folder (factory or user). It might be reasonable to add a load .vvp function. But you could also use the save / load state function of your DAW. I will add it to the todo list.

In the newest version 2.5.0 I have implemented file drag an drop to the header component. So you can now drag a .vvp file and drop it over the preset display to load this rpedet file. Maybe as a first step.
