Saving & Loading

Although it might not seem likes a big step, the ability to save and load project data is pivotal in almost every program. Imagine having to always type an essay in a single sitting, and then having to retype it when you want to make corrections. We simple wouldn't be able to function efficiently without the ability to save and load.

Today I finished a basic saving/loading system that allows my program to save project files and load them again when the user wants. The system saves all instrument and composition data, including all the individual plugin configurations. It wasn't an easy task, but it works, and it makes testing everything a lot easier, since now I can simply make a save file that contains the configurations for all my testing instruments and use it over and over again.

Progress!
