Patcher - Coll not being stored when starting main patch

Qbrick's icon

Hello,

I'm wondering what the reason is why my "coll" object isn't storing it's data after I stored it and reopen the patch.

I thought that when you save the file or content in the colle It would be loaded back in with the start up of the patch. Which in my case doesn't happen.

I've tried writing it to it, but that seems the same of actually writing the data in the "coll", and found that you can automount it, but that makes it pop up a window to pick the save file. As I will be working with al lot of files I want it to be stored in the Coll and loaded when the patch is loaded.

I'm I saving it incorrectly or do I need something else to load the text file.

when you create the coll object, add "@embed 1" to the object.

You could open up the inspector for each of your coll objects and check "Save Data With Patcher". Or, if you give coll a name it will try to load a .txt file of that name. So, [coll myColl] would try to load myColl.txt, if it was in your search path.

Also, readagain doesn't take an argument. Check out the access tab in the help file.
