I'd like your opinions on the best way to store a single value in a GOP patch. For example, I have a GOP patch which has a slider in it. I instansiate this patch in a higher level patch and whenever I load the patch the slider is reset. Let's say my slider has a name of (for example) $1-slider. So when i instantsiate it i do it like this [gop-patch myname] and then if i want to set the slider position i can do [s myname-slider]. What I am trying to figure out is how I can make a list of slider-names (such as "myname-slider") and have their values stored and recalled each time i load the patch up. It feels to me like this should be easy, but I can't think of the clean way to do it. Any ideas are appreciated. This is for a series of patches for stored-automation and sequencing I am building.
I store inside a table and recently I'm playing with storing in a textfile object, which is more flexible.
See my sseq patches for an example of gop-sequencers using the table approach on footils.org and in the pure-data.sf.net-CVS, directory "abstractions"
For a possible textfile approach see Millers example patches in doc/7.stuff/synth/. Miller's one is not fully localized (with $0) but depends on global send/receives. I tried to fix this once and do a more general saver/loader patch (a bit like the "Memento" design pattern in Gamma e.a.) but it is not finished yet.
