<p>Hi Jose</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I am not clear on what it is you are trying to achieve.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>If you're looking for a toggle with a preset 1 or 0, then there is the "init" option from the properties which will save and load the value for you.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>If it is some sort of dynamic patching problem where you need to send messages to the parent patch, then the easiest thing is to use [iemguts/sendcanvas], which lets you dictate a target level (ie. [iemguts/sendcanvas 1] will send messages to the parent
patch.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Do either of these help, or are you still needing a special ID number for each instance of an abstraction?<br>
</p>

<div>
<div dir="ltr">Hello List,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>over the last couple of days, I have been programming a preset system using the [pool] object.</div>
<div>I have made a lot of progress but now I am stuck with a persistence problem.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>a couple of days ago I started with my "scope" tests to see if its working, this included</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>- on the main canvas</div>
<div>- in a subpatch</div>
<div>- in a GOP abstraction with no arguments </div>
<div>- in a GOP abstraction with arguments.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>and here is where it got tricky. The solution that I have been trying to implement is to retrieve the parent window name or better yet the name of the canvas. [window_name] object by HCS does the trick, but the name changes every time you open PD and the
file, so it is not persistent. [canvasname] on the other hand does not provide the parent canvas name.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Until now, the idea was to create a double ID that sets the name dynamically in order of creation thanks to M. Barber's and L. Goodacre's way of doing it, However, the order of creation resets if in a subpatch or an abstraction with GOP. so the second
ID, would let me know the scope that I am in by adding the "window or canvas" that contains the abstractions.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Maybe someone can point me in the right direction or enlighten me with a different solution.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>the objective of the set of abstractions is to just replace the object [tgl] with my abstraction [tgl_pre] and have the preset system working, so I am trying to do it without setting arguments with [tgl_pre $1] as this would imply that if I have 128 tgls,
I have to rename each with a unique $1 each.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks to all that have helped: T. Grill, M. Barber, L. Goodacre.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>and thanks to anyone that can chip in with some ideas.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>cheers</div>
