Can't open *.helm files #194

Closed daeavelwyn closed 6 years ago

daeavelwyn commented 6 years ago

I must be quite dumb, but I just can't figure how to open a .helm file from the synth interface. I can easily open .helmbank, but not an *.helm file...Some clarification in ths documentation could really help !

mtytel commented 6 years ago

Yeah I really need a drop down menu with options. Try ctrl-O or cmd-O first. If you ran the installer, if you double click on the helm file it should open in Helm.

Ok, ctrl+O works nice on my ubuntu-mate installation, but now, if I click on save, I have to write all the patch information again, helm doesn't recognize that there already are informations and juste save in the current helm installaion folder. BTW really thanks for your work, I've just discovered helm and already love it !

Try ctrl-S or click the "Export" button instead. Glad you like Helm!

daeavelwyn commented 6 years ago

Damned, so obvious ! Could you please just document a bit this in the manual ? with some key word like "save patch" and "open patch" ? thks :)

daeavelwyn commented 6 years ago

so...Ctrl+o and ctrl+s doesn't work while helm is used as a vst plugin. I'm trying in Reaper native for linux (from landoleet.org). This isn't a Reaper issue as other plugins work very nice.

andoleet.org
