everlaster updated Preset Loaded Triggers with a new update entry:

v1.0.1

• "Preset" button is now named "General Preset"
• hide plugin UI in the background when trigger panel UI is open (cleaner look)

Triggers created for general presets work a bit differently from the rest. A general preset stores the currently loaded plugin files if Appearance is checked, and it also stores the parameters of currently loaded plugins regardless of what is checked, and those parameters then get loaded when the general preset is loaded if the plugin is currently...

Added an example to the main page:

Example #1: Custom Preset Types

Create fully customized presets by triggering anything you want for when a Plugin Preset is loaded, then saving a plugin preset containing this plugin. When you merge load that plugin preset, this is what happens:

1. A new instance of this plugin is added from the preset file
2. The trigger actions you have defined in the preset file for the Plugin Preset loaded event are restored to the new instance
3. Preset load is done, and VAM runs the Plugin Preset loaded event
4. Trigger actions are executed

I can't find the reload option when trying to add the receiver target

Can you elaborate? What reload option, and what is the receiver?

I want the preset load trigger to reload the plugin when triggered, the receiver is the said plugin

Unfortunately reloading isn't a triggerable action by default. Plugins could in theory implement it as a custom triggerable action, but I don't think I've ever seen that

everlaster updated Preset Loaded Triggers with a new update entry:

v1.1.1

• Fixed compatibility issues with VaM 1.21 and 1.20; now requires 1.20 or newer instead of the latest (1.22)
• Some very minor tweaks in the UI (as a result of updating the source files to depend on my custom "common library" for general plugins)
