Default Re: presets in protools wrong behavior

that was rude m8, seems like you don't/can't understand me, don't blame you its a very weird thing to happen actually, Ive already explained it very nicely but there we go again with a more detailed explanation.

when you open any plugin, what you see is that there's is a PRESET ''section'' above the plugin itself, in that section there is a ''preset name'' box that you can click and it ''pops out'' a LIST.
Below that ''box'' there is a PLUS AND MINOR buttons.
well, because APFS in mac os x returns information in form of hash weight instead of numeric or alphabetic, my version of protools cant work with this kind of data, instead of going from preset 01 to preset 02 when clicking the plus button, what it does is jump to another preset like 43 etc.

I suppose the current version of protools is designed to work with APFS and thats ok,
but that is not a fix for me, after 15 years working with Pro tools I'm fed with avid so no, Im not giving them any of my money anymore.

when I find a system that works perfectly I maintain it for as long as I can, I do orchestral work now and needed a 64 ram 18 core mac, so yep... time to meddle in things like described.

And yes I fixed it by going back to HFS, now presets work as intended etc

when I find me some time Im thinking of going full time DP and also look into logic (thou maybe im too old to learn another daw from scratch)
anyway after many test all its rock solid and perfectly working

thank you for your time, and my apologies if the way I express myself looks that bad,
I feel very sorry that my English was that utterly useless to you, have a nice one.
The problem I had was you never said until just now exactly what presets you were talking about even after I asked repeatedly what presets you were talking about. You didn't say it was for plugins. And as for plugins what you use to increment/decrement presets depends on the plugin. Some have their own preset changing mechanism and don't use the PT system. Depends on the developer.

As for going to DP - unless you're masochistic don't do it. I picked up DP when Avid started the subscription business way back when. Was that ever a mistake. They don't have true instrument tracks like PT has. The fonts used are really small. The consolidated window is a cluttered mess.

I made the mention of using an online translation program because you were not explaining yourself clearly as to what exactly you were referring to.
