I thought snapshots was supposed to be easy, but I must be doing something wrong.

For instance: Why isn't it possible to add snapshots to this basic patch? The "+" is greyed out, and clicking on "new ..." in the snapshots sidebar does nothing.

Did you give scripting names to all the objects you want to include in the snapshot ?

Hmm, that answer suggests to me that Max should create default scripting names as needed

For each object you want to include in the parameter/snapshot system, you just need to set the parameter_enable attribute of the object to '1'. The exception being live.* ui objects, which already have parameter_enable set to '1' by default.

Ah ... so it *wasn't* as easy/straight forward as the Cycling 74 introduction suggested. I actually have to give scripting names to each object that should be included?

If so, then def. agree with this: "Hmm, that answer suggests to me that Max should create default scripting names as needed"

If you set parameter_enable to '1', the object will automatically be assigned a scripting name.

Ok, thanks! I was under the impression it would snapshot anything/everything unless nothing else was done, so obviously misunderstood.
