[c74] Contents of textedit object not saved with liveset

[Veqtor]

What the title says, that is, the content of a textedit object always reverts to it's default state saved with the max device. So, say you've put in 1 2 3 in the max device, saved and then enter something else into the textedit object, from live, save the liveset, open it up again, it's going to revert to the content saved with the device from max. The same goes for presets saved from inside live.

textedit is not a live type state saving object by default. Most vanilla max objects aren't. They can be modified to save state in live by hooking them up to a parameter-enabled pattr object, like this

Hey guys...this functionality was working in the few betas before release. We had it working great in SevenUpLive. Somehow it is now broken.

I went back and tried the simple patch above and verified that "pattr" with "parameter mode enable" set is not saving the state of the text object with the device preset anymore in the release version of Live 8.1.

Was this a feature removed for THE release?

Can we expect it to come back again?

Thanks in advance,
Chris
