pattrstorage in Project doesn't load .json file

MIB's icon

this is driving me nuts. Can anyone illuminate this issue for me?

I have a Project with a pattrstorage. Saving the data with @autosave 3 is no issue and seems to work fine. pattrstorage can't find the saved .json file in the "data" folder that is automatically created by the Project. Using absolutepath to supply a path to the read command does nothing either... Even if I manually read the file it doesn't get loaded.... HELP!!

I am attaching a simple, stripped down example Project (including a .json file). For me, nothing loads, and no presets are available after a restart of the patch or manual reading of the file.

Thanks in advance.

Me too. max 8, 2022. Same problem - if im running a pattrstorage in a bpatcher and I save and load a json for pattrstorage presets, no problem, but as soon as I remove the active bpatcher and call a new instance, it behaves as if the json file has no presets saved - it seems to recognize that there are 2 saved slots in the preset, but will not call the preset. Very odd.
