OK I have some great progress!



The dialog to load the samples looks like this:



A big thanks to my good friend Andrew Williams for coding this with me for the last many days!

2 NOTES:

1.) VSL samples have some special characters in the names that are blowing up when loading into linuxsampler. Example:

Unknown DB instrument: /VSL/PRO/Orchestral_Cube/Brass_and_Woodwinds/13 Flute-2/03 FL2_oV_DYNAMIC-MEDIUM.gig/FL2_cre2_1?5s
Unknown DB instrument: /VSL/PRO/Orchestral_Cube/Brass_and_Woodwinds/15 Oboe/03 OB_oV_DYNAMIC-MEDIUM.gig/OB_cre2_1?5-4s
Unknown DB instrument: /VSL/PRO/Orchestral_Cube/Brass_and_Woodwinds/18 Clarinet - Bb/03 KLB_DYNAMIC-LIGHT.gig/KLB_cre1_1?5s

The ? should be a single quote. How can this be helped?

2.) The progress displayed freezes when loading large amounts of samples. It it good for the first bit but then pops up a dialog: Refreshing Progress (I think it was). the samples are still loaded in linuxsampler but not updated in Fantasia till Fantasia is closed and reopen.

If I could get some help with those 2 points it would be much appreciated!

Thanks!

Did this issue arise after your changes?

I'll try to reproduce this when I have time.

No the issue exists outside of any code I touched. The reason I saw it was because this is the first time I have ever had so many instruments loaded like this. There are few in the library but the few that are there error out.

btw, I think that we don't need the file extension in the directory name, for example, 05 PFL_TRILLS instead of 05 PFL_TRILLS.gig

Done

The patches are here:

I hope it can make it in.

Thanks!

I've run into that problem as well with some VSL instruments using vanilla Fantasia.

Did you ever come up with a solution? It is preventing me from using many instruments.

In my case instruments with backquote characters in their names was at least imported into the database, all I had to do was to open it in sqlitebrowser and change the offending character to the single prime character normally used.

all fixed in cvs trunk!
