How to copy a preset from one [pattrstorage] to another [pattstorage] ?

I have a sub-patch with a pattrstorage in it.

There are two instances of the sub-patch in my main patch, each with its own json file for storage.

Now, I need to copy _one_ preset from one pattrstorage to the other.
Is this possible ?

cheers,
jan.

Check out the pattrstorage 'copy' message - it may be of use. You can alternately do what you need by editing the stored .json file(s) in a text editor - not so practical if you need to do it frequently but easy enough for a one off., the individual presets are pretty clearly delineated (even if they haven't been named).

'Doh !

I should have rtfm ;)
Didn't know, that the copy message can take a named pattrstorage as source.

thanks a lot & sorry for the noise !

hey, I scanning the forum right now and dont find any working solutions for copying pattrstorage presets. (https://cycling74.com/forums/pattrstorage-%22copy%22-message-not-working-properly )

in my case I have a pattrstorage in the main patch and I want to edit the data on the preset slots from a bpatcher while the presets in the main patch get recalled randomly...

so I have the situation while the mainpath pattrstorage gets called to jump to preset 3 I want to set preset 10 to a certain value. do you have ideas how to implement this?

I thought it would make sense to try the pattrstorage copy message but I could not get it to work so far.

any hints welcome!
