32bit

Hey there, I've used pattr a bit over the years with few problems.

Mac OSx 10.6.8 or 10.8.2 or Windows 7, Max 6.0.8 for now.

For a new project I'm building a UI that could have 500+ recall-able preset states and

I figured having several .json files each holding some smaller number of named storage slots would be better than a single huge .json with all presets.

Problem is when I send a read message with a filename for a .json in the Max Project data folder I'm getting a read [filename] 0 message from pattrstorage.

I am hoping that using Max Projects can streamline any filepathing issues when moving from machine to machine, so I do not want to start including complete filepaths in the read message, just "read filename.json"

I removed a lot of client objects from the pattrstorage, streamlined the read command and related logic, and am still getting the same message.

1) Does this have to do with Max Projects and filepaths?

2) What's more computationally efficient/less buggy/pattr-optimized, having one big .json that gets read from or loading smaller new ones every so often

3) Will sending an active 0 message to the main autopattr from right before the read message until read is completed "quiet" the pattr system and allow for easier readin of new files?

pattr-read-failiure

One more thing--I want many objects to send their state with every recall or preset request (they need to set cc values via MIDI over LAN or UDP) so @changemode 1 is not a good option.

Please send me a snapshot of your project at jeremy (at) cycling74 (dot) com . This is the 2nd puzzling report of pattrstorage not reading correctly we've gotten in the last month. In the first case, a workaround was putting a deferlow just before the "read" message, so you can try that in the meantime to see if it gets you further until we've figured out what's happening.

Jeremy, thanks for your help. In my case for now one big .json will work and I have removed the read command.

I'll look at the most recent version that had an error on "read $1" message and send it to you if it makes sense. However I don't have time to whittle it down to a "simplest version that causes the problem" patch. So, should you choose to accept this mission, my .maxproj will be pretty dense.

Yes, I will implement a deferlow in any case where I re-introduce read to the pattrstorage object.

Yes, please send the monster project so we can try to figure this out. Thanks!
