Hi there, I am trying to create a system for managing multiple preset files for [pattrstorage] in a project.

The problem I am having is that when you use the (write mypreset) message to [pattrstorage] it seems to save the .json file first in the '/patchers' folder.

It corrects itself and puts the file into the '/data' folder only after saving the patch.

This isn't very helpful as I'd like to dynamically create and recall preset files and having to hit save to get the file in the right place adds an unnecessary layer.

I can't find a way to specify the exact file path when saving with pattrstorage either.

Here is some example code, create a new project and paste it in then look at your projects file hierarchy when you write the files.

Fixed it. You can indeed specify a specific file path to the write message for pattrstorage, the issue I was having was not enclosing the entire path in quotation marks.

yeah, it's very picky about it. I had similar problems. Defining the exact path and filename sorts things out. It's also nice to have it be unambiguous. The downside is you lose the portability to other computers.

Good point about the portability with other computers. Do you think it would be possible to create a solution for finding or creating a conveniently placed folder?

I am perhaps having a similar issue here. Can you guys help me out figuring out how to tell pattrstorage the specific location where to save all the .json files? I can't seem to find it.

With read and write messages, you can specify the complete path.
