Ableton Push - Browser hack

[djlimbs]

If you want to work with the categories Live gives, use the BrowserComponent.py file in the "modded" folder. If you want to edit it yourself, use the on in the "decompiled" folder. The .py file is just the .pyc file decompiled so we can read + edit them.

Should be up soon, I just submitted it to the website so they'll have to edit it before posting. Will post the link here once it's up!

You only need to copy one of the .py files in. Since you added a new folder named "kicks" in VirtualFolders.cfg, you'll need to add a line in the .py file. something along the line of:

kicks = SourceBrowserQuery(include=[[‘Drums’, ‘Drum Hits’, ‘kicks’]], subfolder=’kicks’)

then in the return line add "kicks" to the queries part. hope this makes helps.

Why the crap isn't sample browsing setup like this by default?!

Great hack man. Thanks ;)

I'd suggest editing the .py file in the "BrowserComponent-decompiled" folder. You want to add your mods under the part that starts with:

def

the tutorial will be uploaded in a few days..in the meantime I've posted a bunch of info about it on the ableton forums if you search for "How to make custom categories in Browser's Drum Hits!!" in Push discussion (sorry Youtube isn't letting me post links)

Great, thanks! Which py file do I need and how is it diffrent from a pyx file?

It's a hack because he's working with decompiled Python binaries, which aren't very inviting to playing around with.
