NKS Development Discussion

I found the problem. It is not exactly a Mac issue but it is because Mac path locations are different than Windows, and inside all those .nksf presets it is embedded the Windows path. If you open any preset with a text editor you can see for yourself.

Code is like this (i marked the Windows path):

@Mercury did them in Windows, so what Mac users need, is a good NKS creator (such as @Kymeia) with a Mac computer, to re-save them and make them compatible to Mac. 🙂

Alternate solution: If any of you can save just one preset and send it here, so i can see the code and find the equal part for the Mac path location, i may try a "mass-code-rename" all at once, with Notepad++. Though i can't guarantee 100% that it will work.

I checked Axxess, Minimonsta and OB-X.

They do not include this "OS specific" path, thus they work on both platforms.

This OB-EZ, is the first GForce plugin with such behavior, but i have seen it elsewhere too, rarely though.

ok, i will give it a try and see if my workaround is possible, or if the presets must remade from a MAC

Rule: If path locations are embedded inside the preset's code, there is no way to be fully compatible, at the same time, for both OS!

They will work of course, but with some limitations, such as those that mentioned above by 3 members.

Thus, it is a great idea to inform developers to stop include path locations in their presets.

hmm... this was also the "original" problem... on Windows they work fine though

so, someone must try to remake them on Mac to see what is going on... just some of them, to test if the behavior remains the same (which, in this case, will indicate a plugin-Mac-bug)
