Just a quick update…

If I load the “saved as” pedalboard and use the save option then the image is created.

Might this be a timing issue? I know that my Dwarf tends to take a long time to create the image. It often fails, but what I have found that works 100% of the time is to hit save in the constructor, then click to the pedalboards library view. I can see the gear turning as the image is being generated. The CPU spikes a few times, but usually within about 30 sec, I see the image appear. From what I understand, this takes a long time because I have most if not all the plugins installed from the store.

I don’t think so.

It seems that the “save as” option does not trigger the image creation. Although the icon keeps spinning the CPU usage does not increase nor spikes. It seems that that only the icon animation is running and the dwarf is doing nothing to create the image.

It is a very consistent behavior

ah, ok. That sounds different.

@rogeriocouto does this still happen if you save a pedalboard with little or no plugins at all?
Have you cleaned the browser cache or used an incognito session?

Hello Jon,

YES

YES and YES

This a annoying bug but not serious.
It adds an extra step to the save as option.
After “saving as” it is necessary to click the save button for the PB image be created.

I would love to be able to rename the pedalboards. Not sure if this feature request already exist.
