Would you like to see the ability to rearrange presets by drag and drop in the media window?

I hardly use Fuse because it will not do what i need it to do, which is basic file management.

The ability to rearrange and rename files is a basic feature in all file management and database software so why is it still not possible to easily rearrange our presets in Fuse?

Why can we not simply drag preset #4 down to slot #10 and so on? For me this one little simple feature would quadruple the usability and functionality of the Fuse software.

I understand that Fuse allows us to easily changer amps, peddles and setting, which is great and that part of Fuse seems to work fine however the developers have seem to forgotten that we need to be able to easily rearrange the preset files so that when we want to use them we don't have to scroll through a hundred files. Sure we can delete all the ones we hardly use or give them numerical pre names but this is 2010 not the dawn of computing. Some kind of drag and drop within the media browser is all that is needed.

Loren or anyone, can you please explain why this is such a difficult feature to implement in Fuse?

Thank You

Hi, while not traditional file management, choosing the FUSE save
option lets you both name the preset, and choose which slot to save it in.

I agree it would be great to load unique banks of 24 presets
in one go, and be able to load saved presets from a browser pointed to
a standard folder on the hardisk, containing gazillions :wink: of preset files.
Cheers

This kind of functionality is so basic that it is almost rediculous to bring up but the developers of the Fuse software seem to have missed the boat on this.

I just dont get it... the software devs at Fender write this nice app that can create and customize the content of hundreds of configuration xml files, and these devs must also know that these files can only be accesed from our amps in sequence, so one would think file managment would be a major concern and focus of any software that is designed for this purpose...one would think!

I imagine getting the installers bulletproof when dealing with multiple versions of .net, Silverlight, XP, Vista, Win 7 and Mac 0Sex is going to
be more difficult than advertised. I'm already posting feature requests,
and the packing is still on the couch :wink:
Cheers

Part of the issue may be that FUSE has to work with both the G-DEC 3 amps and the Mustang I/II amps. Different storage capabilities and different amp models/effects.

Why should that be a factor? Fender is the manufacturer and developer of everything. They should have full access and total quality control. It's not like they are trying to make the fuse software compatible with other manufacturers equipment...if that were the case then I would agree.

Let me also say that I do not want to come off as beating up on Fender. Fender made and still makes excellent guitars and amps but as far as I know they have not been developing software for long. I think the G-dec 3 is one of the best, if not the best practice amp on the market, but i also feel the Fuse software is not taking full advantage or control of the G-dec. Hopefully with a little time and feedback from it's customers they will work out the kinks.

Time to practice!

I've spent the past few hours trying to get my presets together-- much longer than it should have taken.

IMO, Fuse does a decent job of allowing you to tweak parameters that are inaccessible from the physical controls on the Mustang I. But I have to agree: the library functionality is pretty limited, and what's there is buggy, at least in version 2.0.1 for Mac OS X.

In addition to not being able to re-order presets, I'm finding that as often as not the "Save Preset As" function exports a corrupted, unusable file to disk.

Also, what's up with restoring presets from a backup? Shouldn't you be able to select which presets you want, rather than having to restore them all?

I also find that restoring causes the program to hang, requiring a quit and restart, (but at least the presets are fully restored). Yes, Grasshopper, the journey of a thousand frustrations often begins with a few quick and early missteps.

Carlos.

Add me in on wanting this function! I just spent the last 3 hours trying to arrange my presets.

Being a Veteran of other Modelers, (I've had them all: Pod, Pod XT, POD X3 live, Boss GT-10, Digitech RP500, 55, 350, 1000, Spider Valve, Peavey Vyper) I can say without a doubt that the GDEC 3 blows them away in terms of sound quality, yet its lacking the basic functionallity of arranging presets! Please fix this.

While were at it, how about QA functionality for each bank of 3 sounds? instead of being able to only choose 3 presets for QA, make the foot switch act as A B C and arrange them in in banks?

Hey Guys,

I see some great suggestions here. Allow me to reiterate that we are always listening to you and we are making plans to implement some of your suggestions in future releases of Fender FUSE. There are some features that are a little more difficult to implement but if it can be done, we will do our best to bring it to you.

Loren

I agree. This is such a basic idea, it kind of goes without saying. That was the first thing I looked for when I got my Fuse software set up. I noticed the library was bare boned and there was no drag and drop. I guess I was spoiled by Pod X3 Live. In seconds I could drag and drop patches then save to the pedal board. It seems such a no brainer to me.
Fender, you have a great product in the Mustang III. Now make Fuse catch up to it. Please add drag and drop editing and a save feature. Thanks.

I hate to bring it up, but the issue we all seem to be missing is that FUSE is free. Believe me, you are paying for Line 6's software in the price of their PODs, which are more expensive than the G-DEC 3s or Mustangs, and also have no amplification or speakers to cover the cost on.

And therefore Fuse should be difficult and 2nd rate compared to Line6 Edit? Believe me, we are also paying for Fuse. It' is an important feature of any modern digital amp. I'm not dissing Fender. They have done an incredible job on the Mustangs but this feature in Fuse makes life far more difficult than it should be. I suspect Fender would agree with me.

No, I'm just saying it's unfair to compare free software that comes with a $100 amp to software that's integral to using a $500 pedal.

I see your point but it's not just a $100 amp. It's an amp line that includes the GDec and Mustang II-V as well.

Just saw this thread about missing function to rearrange presets in Fuse. After spending lots of time trying to rearrange presets for my Mustang IV, I decided to program a quick&dirty solution that works for me.

I'm not only a mustang IV owner, but also a hobby software developer, so I digged out my old Delphi 7 CD and installed it (I know it is an pretty old version of this programming language) on my pc. Then studied the "guide" from p90sdude and started to code. In the mean time the word "quick" from quick&dirty is no more valid :lol:, but for me it's fun to develop a small piece of software!

My small application is at the moment in a "pre-alpha"-phase, as I yesterday could save a new "arrangement" for the first time without a failure :shock: . But there are still some problems to solve.

The application works with the backups produced by the backup-function, it just automates the steps in p90sdudes guide. The functionality is (at the moment):
- Choose a backup to work with
- Duplicate or delete a backup
- List all presets of the chosen backup in a grid with possibility to change the order by drag&drop
- Change name & description of presets
- List all presets of the Fuse preset folder (the ones in which the downloaded presets are saved, with possibility to insert them in the chosen backup.
- Save the modified backup

After modifying a backup, it can be uploaded to the amp by the Fuse software (Restore the modified backup).

So it it is just a tool to organize the presets in a quicker way. If in future the Fuse software is capable of doing the reorganizing in a better way, I will stop using my piece of software.

I hope that I'm able to test it today or tomorrow evening and that it works ok. If I am able to pack it in one installation file, and if there is a need for this app, I could upload it as a public freeware download when ready, for sure without warranty or responsibility.

Cheers
ivo
