that's right - savestate just lets a patch add stuff to its parent (calling) patch when the parent is saved, that is retrieved when reloaded from a file. I don't know of other meanings of "savestate" although the name does (unfortunately) suggest that it's for object archiving ala NeXTStep (and I think earlier from Smalltalk).

This case seems more like the Lisp problem-- every single user has their own non-standard, incompatible, and deeply personal solution to the problem. Also-- do I have it right that the only relevant native core class "savestate" isn't about statesaving in its common parlance, but is instead a callback hard-coded to the "save" event that writes a patch file to the filesystem? That's what the guts looked like when I ported it to Purr Data, but I haven't really used it yet.

You can also have a look to my "AutoPreset" system. It's available from deken. It's rather old, but that's what I use every day...

?? ?? Just making clear this design allows each instance to be saved with separate presets in a parent patch. Not that I find it crucial. I guess that 2 sharing the same preset bank should be fine for most cases. So using a file to load and save inside the abstraction (as it was possible before) was kinda fine. So this is where I start to think I could be compromising my beloved "KISS" principle... but I was already thinking??import/export was nice to allow people to store these things in the patch rather than a file, so it's cool. It's versatile and still simple enough.
