I'm using pd-0.41.0-test05. The messages documented in http://dh7.free.fr/pd-msg/pd-msg_05.tar.gz aren't working for me. the [saveto( message kills pd, with or without an argument. I'm guessing this is the message that would solve my problem. Has anyone used it in the past? Is this msg documentation still applicable to 0.41.0-test05?

I believe the question of saving automation data has come up before, but this is a different question, I think.
I want to write and read the objects in a subpatch to and from textfiles; not the state of the objects, nor scalars, but the patch itself. Is there a way? I have 8 voices in my sequencer, and 8 subpatches for creating control values to send to csoundapi~. But each Csound orchestra I work with will have different parameters for different instruments, and so the 8 will be different from each other, as well as being different depending on what score I open in my Pd sequencer. So I gave up on using abstractions with arguments, because whenever I change one they all change. But AFAIK subpatches can't be read and written by sending messages to them. Any ideas? Is there a 'menusaveas' message or something? -Chuckk
