Minor nuisance: "Preset saved with newer version" even though I have v2.10.0-pre.9

[vonglan]

Maybe this is a string comparison, where 2.9 > 2.10?

It's not just a string comparison so I'm surprised this happens. What's the exact error message?

Could you attach the presets zipped?

I don't get these warnings with your presets. I use v2.10.0-pre.10 but this shouldn't make a difference. Are you sure you have an up-to-date ReaLearn version? Do you have an instance on the monitoring FX chain? Maybe you grepped the wrong directory?

[vonglan]

Yes, one instance is on the monitoring FX chain.
And I am sure I grepped the correct directory (all presets are also in the ZIP)

[helgoboss]

Mmh then I have no idea. Can you check the version and try with pre.10?

[vonglan]

I just noticed, that one of the tracks shows a ReaLearn instance with 2.8.0 rc6.

How is this possible? I thought all ReaLearn instances use the currently installed version.

Could this be the reason?

[helgoboss]

This sounds definitely like the reason. But no idea how this is possible 😅 Can you check the VST plug-in paths and REAPER resource dirs (UserPlugins/FX) for duplicate ReaLearn installations?

[helgoboss]

At the moment, I can't do much more than logging a few more details what's the issue with loading the preset. For example, it will display both the installed ReaLearn version and the preset version. Still interested to know how it can happen that two different ReaLearn modules get loaded. Maybe you added a manual ReaLearn installation in addition to the ReaPack installation and they don't have the same file name. Please open again if you still think this is a bug on ReaLearn side.

[vonglan]

Yes, that was it: in UserPlugins/FX I had

• ReaLearn-x64.vst from August 22
• realearn.vst from April 23
• and another one (shame on me) in the parent folder: reaper_reapack-x86_64
  I remember I used to install ReaLearn manually, before I discovered that the pre-versions can also easily be installed using ReaPack.
  After deleting all instances but the newest one, the error does not appear again.

[helgoboss]

Ah okay. ReaLearn v2.10.0 now logs a bit more info. In case you run into this situation again :)
