Hi
if you just need to save for example the "initial" state of the patch
- and since you said you are a beginner.
1) Use number2 instead of number, like toggle it has an "init/no
init" switch, so it saves one state.
2) You can send all the parameters you want to save to a messagebox,
just with | set $1 (. With clever naming and the use of abstractions
you dont have to do much wiring
But be careful: Message Boxes dont save their state within
subpatches so they have to be in the "parent" patch. And actually
when PD crashes a lot it is a bit dangerous, because you may loose
all your settings before you can save them. of course you
can as well use textfile ore arrays, but just for saving ONE state
like the initial one you can get along with that, without having to
use sssad or memento.
On the other hand: sooner or later you will need them ;-) So
you can also dive into it from the beginning ;-)
Best Luigi
If you need an example patch, let me know

Hi
I'm trying to build something generic for performing live with pd and
for the most parts, it's going really well.
But I need to save the state of "everything" (a patch with some
instances of some abstractions), so that the widgets will preserve
their
state between sessions.
I looked into memento, but couldn't make it do anything useful, not
even
the manuals/memento/* stuff. Is memento broken and if not, could
someone
provide a brief example of how to use it. If broken, what other
options
are there?
Thanks in advance for any response.
