i am doing an APP (on mac, el capitan, max 7.2.2) and i have a little interface for save and recall snapshots from inside the patch, but when i export the app, there is no way to save or recall from there.

Is it doable?
thanks in advance,

application-and-snapshots

There is an example of the use of the snapshot API in JS in the file

It's in the examples - try the file browser.

Also you can check out the messages to this patcher which support access to snapshots in the ref for thispatcher

Hi Andrew, the [thispatcher] is what i am using in my "in-patcher UI" for storing and saving snapshots, as the lateral snapshots menu is unaccessible when an APP is built.

The saving and restoring works perfectly in the patch but when i build the APP the snapshot thingy seems to do nothing, and no errors in the max window.

Of course i can just "transfer" the snapshots to a [pattrstorage] and it will work as usual, but I just thought that the snapshot system would keep working also in an exported APP.

Anyway thanks for the quick response.

It's still not clear to me if it's possible or not.

In the reference of Max it says "For advanced users and those creating standalone patchers, Snapshots can be accessed via the Snapshots API. These can be used in Javascript with the js object." And since the snapshot system is kinda useless in a standalone without a way to save it, I presumed it should be possible...
