What I've been doing is piping all GUI values into a table. Then writing the table values to a file. When I load the patch up it reads the file into the table, then pipes the table to the GUI objects.

I also came up with a really messy solution of storing abstraction settings in the path of the parent patch, if you're interested.

greetings,

Q: is there any "easy" way so save the values of a pd-patch ( like hslider, numberbox, vdail, number etc.) into a seperate file to make something like a snapshot or preset?? I know there is an object called "state" in the ggee library which only works with other ggee objects. something similar for all pd objects would really help a lot.
