Hi there i'm a little confused about pattrstorage. Where should i put the text file when he ask me to save it? Or does it remember the path? Also it keeps asking it every time i edit the path is there an optimal way of using it. Meaning that it stores the presets when they're changed always in the same path?

pattrstorage-path

using pattrstorage in live in the basic preset-saving way is now very simple:

1. just give it a name - no other args / attributes (and do NOT use "---" or "#0-")

2. open its inspector and make sure 'parameter enable' is ON AND 'initial enable' is ON

4. optionally create a new 'preset' gui object, open its inspector and give it the exact same name as your pattrstorage name in the "pattrstorage" attribute section.

with this method, NO external file is required from live.

Edit: Sorry, I don't think this applies to M4L.

How would you deal with this for a stand-alone?

What if users will be loading multiple projects (JSON files and collections of sounds), not at once, but one and then another?

I worry that adding them to a search path, or the folder where all projects and associated files reside, might cause problems. Let's say that project6 has a sound called buzz.wav and so does project14, how will it load the right one?
