Isn’t it just starting here:
MyPath = "C:\Users" + Range("D2").Value + "\AppData\Roaming\REAPER\CSI\Zones\ZoneFXFiles “
Choosing the .zon file to load, loading it, then:
ReadPath = Replace(MyFiles, "ZoneFXFiles", "ZoneRawFXFiles")
ReadPath = Replace(ReadPath , “zon", “txt")
and loading the raw file ?

Cool for Freex, but probably pretty confusing for anyone else as it prevents the Configurator.xlsm files from being easily exchanged, as they won't save properly unless the directory structures are the same.

Yes, it does rely on the hard coded paths, still not sure that's a bad thing

iv) As far the disk space used, come on guys a 100KB Excel file, really? The average algo plugin is 10-15MB (some Acustica plugins are 1-2GB!) These aren't going to fill the disc up. |
Yeah, I don't think the file size is much of a consideration.
