Say I have some pattrstorage presets, an autopattr, and umenu. Is it possible to tell when the umenu changes whether it was restored by pattrstorage or bu user input?

The only thing I could think of was cover the pattrstorage with a ubutton and increment the menu vanue with a counter, but that seems ugly.

There's no way to know this from Max. But maybe you're trying to solve the wrong problem -- why do you want to know whether the change on the umenu came from the user or not?

I want to store the umenu whenever it changes, but that means that when it recalled it is automatically stored which causes instability.

btw, in response to your excellent avatar
