Bug Summary

The default file type (which cannot be changed) when saving a preset for/through AudioFileProcessor is .xpf but .xpf is not an available option when trying to load a preset.

Expected Behaviour

Either make the "All Audio Files" option behave more like "All Files" or add .xpf as an option

Steps To Reproduce

Save a preset through AudioFileProcessor.
Try to load it through AudioFileProcessor.

(work around is to manually drag the file into the AudioFileProcessor track from elsewhere)

You misunderstand 'loading'.
Loading is for audio-files, and xpf is not an audio-file. That means that .xpf should not be an option in load.
Your saved AFP are Presets, and should be saved in myPresets, whereas audio-files should be found under mySamples.
The best way to open a AFP-preset is to right-click it and choose where it should be opened, this also include an option for replace the current focused instrument, witch can be of any type, also AFP.
Please close this ticket. This is not a bug.

I think what might be confusing is that if you click "Save" in the instruments window then a file dialog opens and you can save the preset anywhere you like. However, if you for example save it to your home directory and then you open "My Home" in the tabs on the left then the preset will not be shown.

So I can understand that this is perceived as a bug.

Edit: the preset files appear under "My Home" so disregard anything that I have written here. 😉

Imo that is a different (and odd) bug.
Should be fixable simply adding the filetype .xpf to the files displayed under myHome. Propl just an oversight.

I have just noticed that the preset files are shown under "My Home" so it must have been some blunder on my side when I have tested this. I could swear that I have reloaded "My Home" after storing the file.
