Donut Orientation is wrong when opening AU projects in Standalone

edited January 15 in Loopy Pro

In standalone, when i open an AU project, the orientation has indexed 90 degrees. If i save the project again, then reopen project in AU, the orientation remains wrong.

    Is this repeatable for you?

    What orientation was the AU project created in?

    Can you post screenshots demonstrating the issue?

  • Blipsford_BaubieBlipsford_Baubie

    Sure. I just spent some time to make it repeatable and make some observations.

    1. Here is the AU Project. Two screenshots. One in landscape, the other on portrait. You can see the donut orientation follows as expected.


    1. Here is the same project open in standalone. Again, two screenshots, landscape and portrait. Notice how in landscape, the orientation is changed. BTW, on my end, when i’m changing the iPad orientation, i do see the screen or window refreshing to indicate a change from landscape to portrait. Orientation isn’t locked.


    1. Finally, the last two screen shots are me saving the project in landscape with the undesirable orientation, then opening the project again in AU host. Notice how the unwanted orientation retains in both landscape and portrait.


    Some notes:
    1) When in standalone and saving, it didn’t matter if i simply saved to overwrite, or duplicate the project then move it into the AU extensions folder.

    2) When saving in standalone, it’ll save whichever of the two orientations you have it in, and reflect that when reopened in AU host, so it’s recoverable.

    3) To answer your question, the projects were created in landscape in an AU host.

    4) The above was iPad. Repeatable on my phone as well.

    @Blipsford_Baubie : as a test, can you add one more column to the layout and put something in the column to see if it still happens?

    Sure, but not until tomorrow or Wednesday.

    I'm following this thread with great interest. I identify as a scone oriented person but have battled latent donut oriented thoughts for years. Is it really so wrong?

    Seems you’re having a hell of a week, rubbing off on me :)

    Ok, I have some developments for you. I did as you asked. Here is LP AU with an added column with stuff in it. Portrait and landscape screen shot, business as usual.

    Here is the same AU projected opened in LP standalone, exhibiting the same behavior as before. Portrait, then landscape. I guess this isn’t an issue and supposed behave this way, cause if you open a new Loopy project in standalone–the 5x2 donuts rotate 90 degrees when going from landscape to portrait. In AU projects, the donut orientation remain the same, regardless of which portrait or landscape mode. I’m guessing this too, is intentional and i like that.

    This is where things diverge. With the 4x4 earlier, saving a standalone project saved whichever donut orientation the device’s orientation was in. Opening the same project in AU reflected this, regardless of which orientation the device was in.

    But now, with non-symmetrical columns, the AU project opens the same way you started the AU project, where you opened in standalone and saved it in portrait mode.
    So all is good in that regard.

    Some notes:

    When doing the 4x4 test the other day, even though i figured out how to get my original orientation back, it did wreak havoc on my project bindings. I had to redo my mappings.
    But, i’d call that bit inconclusive. The reason i discovered any of this is cause i wanted to know what would happen if i shared my project control binding. Naturally, i shared it to the Files app inside the Loopy Folder > Control Profiles. Oddly, when in Control Settings in Loopy, there is only a Share or Duplicate option. No import option. Curious and befuddled, i went to the Control Profole folder in files app. Clicking on the file, or sharing it to Loopy opens it in standalone. Things went awry from there. I duplicated the profile to the Global profile section. I got my profile back eventually, but it was never the same.

    In conclusion, i won’t be testing that for repeatability! Oh, and there’s a worldwide recall on scones. They all must be thrown away.

    @Blipsford_Baubie : some this probably shouldn’t happen.

    In Loopy Pro’s System settings, do you have orientation lock on or off?

  • Blipsford_BaubieBlipsford_Baubie

    @espiegel123

    It is off.

    I even had thought about this, wondered if there was such a setting, had gone looking for it, and it wasn’t there. I see now that that setting is only visible for standalone.

    The last two pictures are what would be expected in that case. The rotation of the first project when opened as standalone seems like it shouldn’t happen.

    I’ve let Michael know about it.
