That's the way I do it. This is also a good way for a preset management to save an entire patch with different settings. Takes a little organisation at first but works perfectly.

You have to remember that writing to disk might interrupt the audio stream so you will have to write the tables manually to disk when no audio is being pruduced.

Yeah, I think the way to work around this is what I used: (stuff) | [tabwrite keymap] [table keymap] plus a couple messages: ) ; keymap write keymap.txt]

& ) ; keymap read keymap.txt] & a [loadbang] to this last message should automatically reload the last saved values. Forrest Curo San Diego

Hi, when i create a table using the object [table blabla] and then i select the option in the table "save contents" and then i close the patch and reopen it doesnt store the contents of the table. This option just works when i create the table directly from the options.

Is this a bug? Or is there a special way of storing the values of the table? Im using pd-extended 0.43.4

cheers
