Hallo Frank, I am working on fixing this up thanks to Thomas's explanations... Is there any reason you used the xml format for local saving? I was going to put it back on regular pool datafiles to be consistent with "main" memento.
I believe I have things going the way they should! But I'd like to do a little more testing and make a nice (miniature) GUI for inclusion in local patches.

Hi Frank, thanks for the implicit bug report. I think that svxdir/ldxdir also work for you, but there's a small badly documented thing: If absdir=1, absolute folder paths are written into the XML files, which make it impossible to correctly re-import the files with ldxdir, which only loads the first level. ldxrec would load more levels. On the other hand, with absdir=0 svxdir stores relative folders.
Please find the attached example which should clarify things.
best greetings, Thomas
Acutally that is what the "svxdir/ldxdir file.xml" methods of [originator] were supposed to handle. The approach was to have it work like in attached example patches. For debugging purposes the commands sent to the internal [pool] are still printed into the console. However it doesn't work. :( Probably I'm misunderstanding how the pool-methods svxdir/ldxdir are supposed to work. According to the pool-help.pd they should save and load the contents of the current directory. However what they actually do save and load is a full tree, including the toplevel name. Until pool gets a method (or until I find the existing method of pool) that really only saves the content of a directory and nothing else I'm afraid there's no way to easily save and load local states. (You could of course build your own local-saver...)
Ciao
