How to quick load own images / creations?
Hey i have a question.

I am working on a few backgrounds and i have 2 finished so far.
The 2 backgrounds have 2 layers. Front and back, so that the back image is under the visualizer and the front image is over the visualizer.

Now i have a problem.

You have the options to save, load, reset and load a json but i think saving like this only saves your settings and not your images.

What happens is that i now have created 2 saves. If i have 1 of my backgrounds activated and i choose to load the 1 save file nothing happens.

It keeps the background and settings and nothing changes.

If i now load the 2 save the background just disapears.

The settings are fine, but my background images just resets to the completely black visualizer.

Is there a way to safe my settiings AND my images?

Hey just tested it out, seems to be working fine for me.
the save option saves all settings along with location of the image not the image itself
so once you save a setting donot change the image locations or deleted them.

ok i have a bit more time...
no it does not work for me.

I just explain what i am doing:

So i select my back image first and then my front image.
Thats how it should look like.

Now i go to save an save it under the name show 1.

Now i use my 2 front ad back image for my 2 background.

I safe again with the name show 2.

Now i can select show 2 and load it and nothing happens (fine because it what i saved)

But if i load show 1 with the pictures in the background from show 2 it resets the background to the black visualizer.

If i now choose show 2 again it loads the images i saved for show 2 but show 1 does not load the 1 images i saved

I tell you what happens on my screen:

If i select the / a save file i do not already use as a background in your visualizer it resets the background to the simpel black visualizer. (The standart one where everything is black but the visualizer appears if you are turning on music)

If i now click on another background from the workshop stuff i downloaded it apears instead of your visualizer. (Completely normal becuase i selected something else)

If i now select your visualizer AGAIN (after i selected something else/random from the workshop) the background appears.

So it IS LOADING the correct pictures and settings but for some reason it does not show it until i selected something else and then select your visualizer again.

The only thing i can tell you is that your visualizer is in my playlist with 7 other backgrounds and my settings are:

random
every 5 minutes

and the boxes:

no
yes
yes

(yes = :ok_ay:)

Thats everything i can tell you.
But it works!

If there is something else you want to know let me know!
