hi,

yes i guess i should take a look at sssad, never thought of a second $0 argument. this really wasn't an enhancement it's a systeme i developed and use until i get something ebtter .... as soon as i'm done with datastructures i'll get back to it. thanks,

Frank, it would be great if you could post a downloadable version of sssad somewhere online (maybe footils.org?). I realize you put it up on SVN, but I think in general people who aren't programmers or don't compile code on their own don't really use SVN. Googling for sssad usually leads to the old ones hosted by Chris McCormick. Or some athletic school in Saskatoon.

Yeah, what's SVN?

On a serious note, I'm reasonably adept in computer stuff, I know it stands for Subversion, but even after looking into it a little, I am still stumped by it so I do tend to avoid SVN stuff.

With "SVN" I meant the code repository in "Subversion"-format that a lot of Pd objects and Pd itself are managed with. sssad is kept there as well, and it's located here:

http://pure-data.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/pure-data/trunk/abstractions/footils/sssad/

There is an option to download a complete archive by using the Download GNU tarball link at the bottom.

Oh, and sorry about the athletic school. I mailed them and asked for a name change but they didn't reply yet.

Hi, I use sssad a lot and I find it very useful.

But when I use many save modules on my program, some of them suddenly stop working and I can find this line in my .txt files:

\\\\\\\$1/kill.SSAD/kill;

Is there any kind of limitation in the number of presets that can be saved in one file?
I have 135 lines...

thanks!

I have the same problem, but found that it has to do with the loading, not the saving of data.

In my patch, I think I found the problem.
When I save too many single parameters in the same abstraction, I cannot load them properly.

So, now I put every parameters of the abstraction in a temporal storage (a table), and I dump a single list that is stored in sssad

Still many problems here. Even if I can save more parameters than before, I need to find a different way to store my data because I loose my preset everytime!

Incidently, why do you use SSSAD over Memento - what are the fundamental differences?

What is Memento and how do I find it?
