Okay, I added some of the GUI stuff for sssad I had already built to
the CVS now. Though I'm convinced, that this stuff is better built by
every user on his/her own. Why? sssad has the saving completely
seperated from the state collecting. You can use sssad to save to
textfiles, messages, pool-files, netsend or whatever you choose to use
for the actualy saving. IMO it doesn't make sense to completely
standardize this area, as saving needs are different. 

Anyway included the CVS now are  examples how to use sssad in to save
to pool, textfile and message boxes.

One of my priciples is, that state saving is not tied to GUI elements.
One may want to save different things than just the state of a slider,
and one may want to not save the state of some sliders. See
http://footils.org/cms/show/1 for a longer take on my motivation for
this.

But in sssad/gui you can find some examples of GUI elements that are
created like [sssad-hslider SAVEME]. They will look like normal
sliders, but in fact they are slider-abstraction with graph on parent
and "hide object names" enabled. Additionally inside they have a
[sssad $1/slider] object already connected. 

Of course you cannot directly reach the sliders "Properties" dialog
directly anymore, so I don't want to advocate using these directly,
they are more intented as an illustration of the idiom. As I wrote
above I prefer to let users make their own choices and have their own
thoughts, because my way often is wrong and it is so more often for
others. ;)

Ciao
