Hi,I want a function to load and save the data of all parameters of my expression tag. All Sliders and Spline Curves and so on.
Is there a way for storing all the parameters I want to be saved in a NodeData() object and save it to / load it from a file?
Thanks for help.
Greetings,

Anything defined in the resource as descriptions for the plugin tag is loaded/saved automatically. You do not EVER need to load and save these yourself - probably not recommended either.
Anything not defined there, such as class variables, should be loaded/saved using Read()/Write()/CopyTo() (when you use one of these methods, all three must be defined in the plugin Data - your TagData derived class).
If any variables depend on other tags/objects/etc., you'll want to set them by checking for the MSG_MULTI_DOCUMENTIMPORTED message in Message() for your tag. This guarantees that the entire document has been loaded for proper referencing.

I know that all settings are stored in the scene. But I want to be able to store his settings to a file, so he can archive his favourite settings. Like presets.

Oh, that's more explanatory!
For something like presets, you'll have to devise a file format and use a BaseFile and its methods or write a text file (fprintf/fscanf?). Possibly a hard-named file (I use, for instance, ipptool.prf for my tool settings) or you can open a file dialog so that the user can load from/save into a particular file.
How to read/write the presets depends upon which way you go: BaseFile or C/C++ methods. For the C4D types, you'll need to convert for the latter method (write 1/0 or TRUE/FALSE for bools and so on). If you need some example code, I can provide it but you should be able to get the hang of it. Try a single variable first for read and write to test the veracity. Once that is established, fill out all of the reading/writing to be done.

Hi,
yeah, some example code would be great!
I had hoped for some possibility to write the complete contents of a PluginData or BaseContainer class into a file. That way, I would just have to copy the settings that should be saved to a separate BaseContainer and write a kinda BaseContainer File.

Unfortunately, there is no WriteContainer/ReadContainer.
These methods do exist in the HyperFile but have not tried this approach. This may suffice for your requirements.
Otherwise, this is my entire plugin preferences load and save methods; a bit much, but it show everything needed. Note that the BaseFile* is passed in from the dialog so you'll want to either do similar or AutoAlloc the BaseFile and Filename::Select to get the file to open for read/write. Also note that this file tracks the version so as to ignore newer settings.

Hi,
OK, I made certain progress. Here are my SavePreset() and LoadPreset() functions (shortened a bit).
First, there's SavePreset() :
static Bool SavePreset(BaseTag *tag, Filename fn) { BaseFile* PresetFile; PresetFile = BaseFile::Alloc(); if (!PresetFile) return FALSE; if (PresetFile->Open(fn, GE_WRITE, FILE_DIALOG, GE_MOTOROLA, MACTYPE_CINEMA, MACCREATOR_CINEMA)) { // Main Settings PresetFile->WriteBool(tag->GetData().GetBool(SCOOBYCAMEXP_ENABLED)); PresetFile->WriteReal(tag->GetData().GetReal(SCOOBYCAMEXP_MAINFACTOR)); PresetFile->Close(); return TRUE; } else { return FALSE; } }The LoadPreset() looks almost similar:
static Bool LoadPreset(BaseTag *tag, Filename fn) { BaseFile* PresetFile; PresetFile = BaseFile::Alloc(); if (!PresetFile) return FALSE; if (PresetFile->Open(fn, GE_READ, FILE_IGNOREOPEN, GE_MOTOROLA, MACTYPE_CINEMA, MACCREATOR_CINEMA)) { BaseContainer *data = tag->GetDataInstance(); Bool BoolData; Real RealData; PresetFile->ReadBool(&BoolData;); data->SetBool(SCOOBYCAMEXP_ENABLED, BoolData); PresetFile->ReadReal(&RealData;); data->SetReal(SCOOBYCAMEXP_MAINFACTOR, RealData); PresetFile->Close(); } }For Bool, Real and Vector data this works perfectly. But now I have TWO questions:
1. Isn't it a clumsy way to use those BoolData and RealData variables in the LoadPreset() function? Isn't there a more elegant solution to read the value and derectly put it into the BaseTag data?
2. How can I read and write a spline from the BaseTag's data? For example, I have such a Spline data:
SC_TargetBlendCurve = (SplineData* ) tag->GetDataInstance()->GetCustomDataType(SCOOBYCAMEXP_TARGET_BLENDSPLINE, CUSTOMDATATYPE_SPLINE);How can I write SC_TargetBlendCurve into the file and also read it from the file & put it back to the Tag's DataInstance?
You see, I am still beginner in C++
Thanks a lot for any help!!
Best regards & Greetings,

1. There is no way around this. You need to get at the value using a variable as an argument and then set the value using a variable. Since the ReadXXX() methods don't return the value (only success of reading), how else would you go about it?
2. You're going to need to dive into the resource folder and find the Spline resources for this custom data type in order to write that data out and read back in properly. You'll probably need to use a mix of GetDataIntance() and GetParameterI()/SetParameter() to get at the SplineData data.

1. OK, I supposed so. I'll survive it
2. I know how to access the SplineData, but do I really have to store all spline parameters separately? Is there no way to write a complete SplineData to a file?
I thought maybe WriteBytes(data, len) would help, but I am not sure if I am right and how to use it.

Yes, you really do.
If you store the 'data' you won't get much as most of it is stored in BaseContainers - and remember that BaseContainers can contain BaseContainers and other data types not necessarily fully described. Now, you can read/write BaseContainers to a Hyperfile but not using BaseFile or any non-SDK method.As noted in the docs, I'd avoid reading/writing byte blocks as much as possible. First, they are not platform-independent. If you are going to support both Windows and MacOS, you'll need to be extremely careful about byte-order (which system saved it and which is reading it?). I've done it in the past with limited success - sometimes the data was not read properly when going between systems.
Second, something you might want to contemplate considerably, is that the data in the SplineData is not guaranteed never to change. This is Maxon's and they might decide to add/remove/change/reorder data on a whim (for efficiency or new feature, perhaps) in the next release - and then where are you? See why this isn't a good idea? If the data block was yours and you had that control, it'd be more tenable.

OK, then I'll do that
I was worried about how to determine which amount of data I have to read, since I do not know how many points a spline has, before I read them all. But I think, I'll just write the number of points and then read the appropriate number of values from the file.
Let's see how it works out. If I find a nice function for reading and writing spline data, I will post it here.

Saving the number of points in the spline and reading it in accordingly is a good practice. As you can see in my voluminous code example, this is exacly what I do for other variable numbers of elements. I store the count in a description resource and use that for the loop that reads in variable lengths of data elements.
The Hyperfile route may work here but it would be prudent to try it to see the results. Nonetheless, the second difficulty noting the volatile nature of the structures involved needs to be considered. Even supported structures like animation data has changed from R8.0 to R9.0 to R10.0 making compatability an issue when even stock plugin support is involved.
I agree that this requires more work and more consideration (I have 13 builds for one of my plugins which requires numerous preprocessor defines to placate the various methods and changes in the SDK over time). But the thing is not to only consider the current build but future expectations of change. At some point, something seemingly concrete changes (say Polygon* to CPolygon* as a nasty example of required code adaptation). Any parameters that can be described 'independently' so as to provide the least correspondence changes later will prove useful to continued support and easier updates.
So, basically, by going the more verbose route you should find it easier (believe it or not) to adapt the code to changes in the SDK just by making the appropriate preprocessor defines when you are supporting various versions.

I have made myself two nice little functions. I pass to them the BaseFile (already open for writing) and the SplineData.
