Description

Hello, I'm trying to load any patches from patchstorage but always get an unarchiver error.

Example:

• https://patchstorage.com/cardinal-darius-sequencer-bass-line/
• https://patchstorage.com/dual-oscilator/
• https://patchstorage.com/the-great-tb-303-obsession/

I noticed these files were archives so I also tried extracting them but even loading the patch.json within directly yields an error

Also @ycollet if you have any idea..

Same result on my side: unarchiver error. No more message on the console. If I put the downloaded file in: ~/Documents/patches the patch opens successfully via the "Open local patch" menu

When I download these patches I just get a .vcv file that I can open directly with Cardinal.

VCV uses a zstd encapsulated json format, but we can simply open these files directly, no need for extracting!

Btw the last patch is missing a lot of modules in Cardinal so won't do anything useful.

When I download these patches I just get a .vcv file that I can open directly with Cardinal.

so, here's what I see if I open any of those:

hmmmm.... it seems that it's a problem of downloads folder called "Téléchargements" in my computer which the plugin does not seem to like too much. If i put the file in a path without non-ascii characters it seems to load :')
