It'd be lovely, and most useful, to be able to dynamically set the "initial value" in live.slider, live.dial, live.numbox objects as an attribute. It would provide a convenient way to fine-tune an interface to optimum defaults for a given project.

The problem with that is that the Live application itself uses that value for initializations, and - once set - it can't or doesn't change. Although I can see why it seems like a useful idea, I don't believe that that's likely to change

I see. Then, for those of us that are not using Live, I'd shift the feature request to provide the great user interface features of the live.x objects to the original Max slider, dial, number boxes... i.e. default values, double-click behaviour, exponential scaling, etc.

lol, your request is granted, simply set parameter enable to 1.

lol... not sure who'll get the last laugh here, but the only part of "parameter enable 1" that that seems to be actually functional is the default parameter that is set on load. After that, no mouse click to return to that initial value :-( Also the exponent doesn't appear to be functional, with no change in output regardless of the setting.

i think it is much more convienent to have all GUI object´s range either set to their size in pixels or to 0. - 1. and then map the value range later where needed.

in many cases you will need to have two different output ranges from a slider anyway.

plus i´d like to have the last laugh.
