Hi,

I've been looking at the the compositions mentioned in
this thread.

I notice both Jelly and Arabesque have JavaScript
patches containing 'hard-wired' presets. This isn't
quite what I was after- what I really wanted is a way
to temporarily save the current settings of the
composition into one of a number of 'Memory
Locations'. Having said that, I can see that having a
number of hard-coded presets could also be useful.

I'm intrigued by the idea of creating a
preset-management plugin. I've been working up to
creating a few of my own custom QC objects myself.
Long way to go though, as I've only just started my
'Beginning MacOS X Programming' book ;)
I'm not sure how it would be possible to save presets
with the composition, however, unless they can somehow
be written on-the-fly into the file as
meta-information. The ideal might be to be able to
write presets into an XML file in
~/Library/Preferences.
