When I set a text with multiple words in [textedit] (with the 

message), it appears quoted. Can I remove the quotes somehow?

-textedit-set-without-quotes

cannot reproduce that. you sure you dont send a single symbol?

This is for a preset list. I type the words and store them in [pattrstorage]. At recall I must do 

 and the quotes get displayed. They don't harm but I don't want them.

then depending of what you expect editing in textedit

( i had this question too )

Thank you for verification that it should work. I suspect a problem in my patch, it is several years old and I don't understand it anymore :-)

I think in my case it has to do with [pattrstorage]. I takes the names directly from [textedit] and they get stored with quotes. When I edit the storage .xml File and reload it, the quotes are gone. I have to rework the patch ...

same thing here editing a symbol as index in a coll. Maybe underscore is the way. Making an own dialog box with textedit, non freezing the UI.. :-) Old thing ( 3.6.2 ? )

It was just a crazy way to store quoted preset names in [pattrstorage] and since [textedit] took it's content directly from [pattrstorage] I could not get rid of the quotes ;-)

Btw, updating [textedit] automatically from [pattrstorage] does not work here anyway. Now I make an additional [getstoredvalue ...] and forward it to [textedit]. This seems to work well. Sometimes [textedit] may get it's content twice but I can live with that tiny overhead ;-)

Got it fixed, thank you.

i would like to give a sound explanation but i cannot.

the story of "what is the difference between a list of symbols and a symbol with arguments" belongs to the things which never understood. it mostly just works, but then there are textedit, route, and cellblock.

 [fromsymbol] to be able to use the output of textedit like intended (while in other situations one was enough).

i remember patches where i had to do two times [fromsymbol] to be able to use the output of textedit like intended (while in other situations one was enough).

I currently experience the same problem, textedit (set "symbol") message does not prompt properly in the textedit box. Double quotes and special characters are prompted while they shouldn't.

[textedit] set without quotes?
