(VSTi) Ask if sounds should be overriden.

  • So i was building this nice sound, worked on it like ~3-4 hours until it perfectly fitted into the song, and then just 1 second of carelessness, i've accidently overwritten the sound with a different one that i wanted to save in the slot underneath. While clicking the mouse must have jumped a few pixels to the top, and i haven't noticed it :cursing:, and after the song was saved the sound was finally gone, no way to get it back ;(


    So, just an idea, an (optional) dialog that asks if one really wants to override sound xyz.

  • Are you talking about the revert option in the part section? Well, that would have been an option if i had noticed that something gone wrong... but in the mean time i had loaded the accidently overriden patch from what i thought was the previous one, so the only option i had was to revert to the sound that has overriden the previous one, and to the overriden itself :pinch:
