Hi Cal
OK so I think its state files I should be using but it sounds like
you've not decided quite whats going on with such files. Can I load a
state file from 0.60.10 into 0.62.x?
I don't quite follow your use case here. At face value, distributing JS/LADI
sessions doesn't make sense. Sessions contain local system specific data (eg
connections) that won't distribute comfortably. Distributing state files I
can almost understand, although I don't really understand what you're
looking to achieve in doing so.
Well as you say, it could well have been a qjack bug that caused me to
lose my yoshimi session info, but I've also had yosh 0.60.10 crash
multiple times in non-JS related use cases over the last few days-
maybe yosh had crashed without me realising then I over-wrote my
session when A3 was no longer connected to yosh hence no log of yosh
or its settings in the JS folder.
Another good point you make is that connections can vary across
systems which complicates or may outright prevent sharing of JACK
sessions. I'd still like to think theres someway to get a jack session
from one machine to another yet I expect it'll involve editing of
session files or a custom script to do so. You never know what patches
people may have stored in their databases so I'd like to be able to
use state files (or whatever is best for the future of yoshimi) to
bundle Yoshimi instruments together with their other session & source
files in a conveniently shareable, reproducible manner.
