Hi Max hackers, is there an API or a way to make an external object snapshottable in the sense that Max4Live will be able to save/recreate its internal state properly?

This does work for many Max objects, like dict or multislider, the contents of which can be saved into a Live preset or session, and are recreated after a crash =-).

Implicit in your inquiry is the acknowledgement that we have 3 state management systems built into Max: preset, pattr, and snapshots -- with snapshots being the newest (and not documented).

To support snapshots, your object simply needs to support parameters. This also is not really documented.

I've just added a ticket to address this in the context of the Min API @ https://github.com/Cycling74/min-api/issues/132

API for snapshots for M4L?
