Personally I use sssad now, and it's used throughout the rj
library as well. I think, its design is a bit easier to follow and maybe even
cleaner. It doesn't include an actual object to save settings to a file, but that's by
design: it also doesn't force you to use a specific object to save like
Memento did with [pool]. You even can use sssad with pool, if you want. Or use it
with message-boxes or [textfile] or [netsend].Oh, and [sssad] is Pd vanilla so it runs on every current
distribution of Pd.So its sounds like memento is no longer supported.
Why? I think, you've misinterpreted what I wrote: I only described
what I currently use for new projects, and that's [sssad]. But I still have
tons of old projects that use Memento and as long as the required externals
are there, it Just Works(tm).I suspect the crash reported here is due to some externals issue.
I've seen Memento crash, when the wrong [prepend] was used, that's why I
removed all [prepend] from Memento a long time ago. Another reason for crashes
has been a conflict that [pool] had with other flext-based externals (When I
gdb-debugged this, I found crashes happen in xsample, which isn't even used in
Memento.) But AFAIR, later versions of flext didn't show this crash anymore and
recompiling all flext-externals fixed it for me.That was long ago. So all in all I think, Memento isn't causing
crashes anymore on its own.
Ah, ok, sounds like you are still supporting it then.
For the 0.43 release of Pd-extended I am planning on pulling out non-supported libraries and making them standalone libraries.
Should I include memento?That's up to you. Memento needs [pool], though.
I think that it doesn't make a lot of sense to include memento without
including [pool]. So IMHO either someone gets pool included, or
memento should be distributed separately along with pool.
