Config presets

[barepixels]

am just wondering what is the status of this module.  is it still functional with current builds of ML?

[jerrykil]

It's built in and still works. however, the implementation is rather coarse. On my eosM, info button at bootup prevents ML from loading at all, and there are no mode dials. I set a preset for Menu.KEY and it worked great...

found it.  I never knew it exist.  thnx

Using this for a while and thinking all the time, like Marsu suggested a year ago: maybe implementing a soft reboot to switch configs would be a good idea... and a +1 on this one!

@a1ex: Looks like presets are not ordered alphanumerical but in order of time of creation.

Is it possible to change behauviour?

I just created an issue.

I hope it's not user error, but I don't find a way to keep the modules loading

Working with the crop_rec4k branch:
Config presets https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=8499.0
Canon 5d Mk3 1.2.3 with Latest Build Branch: crop_rec_4k (2017-10-10 21:51)
crop_rec and mlv_lite don't load when pressing the MENU or INFO button to load a config.
When pressing MENU to load the config preset and after loading the crop_rec it does not load again after reboot.
Somehow does not keep the settings for loading those modules.

The issue is resolved

I just tried this with my camera, I moved all my ML/SETTINGS stuff and dropped it into a new folder "Video_RAW" and it showed up on my config presets easy. Can't wait to make some other presets, and this will make setting up my cards so much quicker! It's been a little bit exhausting to comb through the menu each time I set up a card, and I'm really nitpicky about making sure my cards are consistent across the board. This will help so much.

EDIT: I notice when I try to choose my preset and then reboot, the mlv_rec and mlv_snd modules are turned off. when I try to turn on the mlv_rec and mlv_snd modules and reboot, they do not turn on still. If the Preset is supposed to be a new path to get the files, do I just move all the files created into a preset folder? (right now in my folder i have only my preset folder in ML/SETTINGS.

My preset folder contains:

bench.en
magic.cfg
mlv_play.en
mlv_rec.cfg
mlv_rec.en
mlv_snd.cfg
mlv_snd.en
