Hello all, is it possible to make a patch save itself?

When banged would be great but before closing would be ideal, any help at all would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hey,
take a look to menusave message in pd-msg tutorial (browser/manual)

(Save every 30 seconds)

[loadbang]
|
[metro 30000]
|
|menusave(
|

Or (save before close the patch)

[closebang]
|
|menusave(
|

i think i tried that once and i didn't work.

i might have done something wrong though.

Thanks, but it doesn't appear to be working for me either, anyone else have luck?

What exactly doesn't work for you?
try the simple test attached, it works perfectly to me.

How odd, that does, I'll pop it in, thanks!

Just a note, it doesn't print that the patch has been saved if anyone uses that method to see if it's working.

I think it was because I was using spaces and decimals in my filename, sorted now, thanks!
