Save last sendet data (and send it on boot)

I have a issue.
If i change a value in the dial. It works all fine. But if i reboot my pc the value goes to 0.
It would be nice if the plugin saves the state and send it on boot (perhaps with a delay option).

That sounds very dangerous to me.

And the plugin doesn't know if it is loaded due to a reboot or a profile/ page swap (or created/moved in the editor), so the logic to keep track of such a thing would be a nightmare.

Than just keep the last state for itself (without sending it). For me it's every time annoying.
I change a value. My plugin host saves the value (also after reboot). After restarting my computer the midi plugin just shows the initial data (0). If I than move the dial I need to adjust completely to the value that I want. If it saves the value, after rebooting, it should the same as the plugin host.

(Alternative solution would be to never shutdown the pc, but that's also bad xD)

Just saving and restoring it locally might be doable. I'll put it on the wish list.

But only optional, please.

Yes, of course.

Thanks

You can try this version. Install the plugin, and when that is done, you must move the file "StreamDeckMidiUserSettings.xml" from the plugin folder to the "Documents/Trevliga Spel" folder (create the folder if you don't have it). The file must be moved, the copy in the plugin folder is a template only and is not accessed by the plugin.

This line in the "StreamDeckMidiUserSettings.xml" file controls the functionality of the new save feature:

<MidiState RestoreAtStart="true" SaveInterval="60" MaxAge="24" />

• RestoreAtStart must be set to "true" to enable the feature.
  
• SaveInterval is how often (in seconds) the midi state is saved to disk. The saved file may be large, and I see no reason to have real-time or close to real-time updates. The default value of once a minute seems reasonable but can be changed if needed. Disk saves are only performed if there has been any midi activity since the last save.
  
• MaxAge is the maximum age (in hours) of MIDI events that will be restored at the start of the plugin. The default value of 24 means that only midi events created in the last 24 hours will be restored during the plugin start. The idea is that if the computer has been shut down for longer, the saved midi state is probably irrelevant.
  

Let me know what you think.

First of all, it has to be said: it works! And i love it!
Secondly, the version you gave me has a bug which no longer displays the state icon correctly. (but the correct signal is sent).

Now for my opinion:
SaveInterval is totally fine. I don't change it that often. And certainly not just before I shut down the computer. I think one minute is a good number.
I also took a look at the JSON file and it looks really nice.
Only the last status is really used here. That is really sufficient (so the file is not unnecessarily large). I will then probably set MaxAge to 672 hours (4 weeks). As it is also important to me that it restores the state after a longer period of time. But everyone can customise this individually.

That's worrying since it is based on the 3.9 release I have just sent to Elgato for publishing. Please give my more details on which dial, how itis configured and so on.

Because everything was to long for one post:

Here are the configs and the Protokol (Protokol shows the correct data)

Here is the plugin log:

That was a pretty nasty bug; I can't imagine how I missed it! How fortunate that you spotted the problem and reported it.

It is corrected in this version.

Now, I must stop Elgato from publishing that version.

I can confirm: It is fixed

Please check the beta 3.9 thread.

I tested it now, for me works all fine. Simetimes after reboot (the state gets restored) the gui don't change.
But the internal state. As an example. The Dial is on 50%.
After reboot it shows sometimes (not everytime) 0% but if i move the dial it humps back top 50% +- 1%.

When you get this problem, are all dials/buttons affected or just a single one?

On all dials/buttons i think.

I think it's a timing issue. I've published a new beta version, and I hope I have solved that.
