Nevermind! 🙂

I decided to play around with the filters and found an easy solution:

I use the filter ‘piklist_part_process’

Check if its a page thats being edited (thats where my metabox is)
Check which metabox is beind edited. (in this case products-metabox.php)
Then load the postmeta. Run through it (via foreach) find the arrays that hold the media groups, and reset the array keys.

Couldn’t have been easier!

add_filter('piklist_part_process', function($part) {
  global $post;
  if ( $post && 'page' === $post->post_type ) {
    if ( 'meta-boxes' === $part['folder'] && 'products-metabox.php' === $part['part']) {
      $pm = get_post_meta($post->ID,'mae_products',false);
      if (count($pm)>0) {
        foreach ($pm AS $k1=>$v1) {
          $pm1 = $v1[0];
          $tmpm = $pm1['mae_media'];
          $tmpm = array_values($tmpm);
          $pm[$k1][0]['mae_media']=$tmpm;
          $tmpf = $pm1['filedownloads'];
          $tmpf = array_values($tmpf);
          $pm[$k1][0]['filedownloads']=$tmpf;
        }
        update_post_meta( $post->ID, 'mae_products', $pm[0] );
      }
    }
  }
  return $part;
});

It simply resets the array values for the media portions of that metabox thats being processed.
Problem solved. 🙂

Thanks for making an incredibly powerful product, can’t believe the stuff I can do.

Actually its more of a question on what allows it. 🙂

Since it links to a fields array, I thought it might be interesting to know if you could apply it several times, and if other fields could use it.

More curious than anything.

Fixed
by removing the third variable $update from the save_post function and reducing the filter call to 2, instead of 3 parameters at the head of the file.

Yaay, It’s working on an old archaic system. LOL

You know what Jason, if I was still on ubuntu I’d be using vim again.
The speed was always amazing.

On windows however I find sublime runs about the same. (maybe a tiny bit slower to do what I need)
But thats the price I paid moving back to winblows.
