RESOLVED: touchplayer not saving state of params

Bugs
1

using the latest 099 release (15960) and an experimental build (31700?) on windows 10, we noticed that touchplayer does not save the current state of parameters (exposed through a ui) as touchdesigner does.
I don’t know if this is a bug, or perhaps crippled functionality in touchPLayer.

also, touchplayer does not seem to perform the onExit() function from an execute dat, we didn’t test this rigorously, so maybe i should say it doesn’t seem to execute a run() function from the onExit(). We had to put in a button to make it run our script (saving UI parameter states to a json file).

How are you saving the .toe file? Which command?

3

save from the menu generally.

Sorry, which menu? There is no built-in save menu in TouchPlayer. Or are you on macOS and talking about the Apple File menu?

Please post an example file.

obviously i misunderstood you.
since i don’t think you can save a toe file from touchplayer, i was assuming you meant saving in touchDesigner.
i was trying to save a json file with the current settings of a bunch of sliders when the project closed in touchPlayer.
m using an execute dat with onExit()
running a script in a text dat

def onExit():
op(‘export_presets_to_file’).run()
op(‘export_sequence_presets_to_file’).run()
return

the run commands work from a button with a panel execute, and the onExit() works when quiting touchDesigner, but not when quiting touchPlayer.
I will try to put together an example.

sorry for the trouble :blush: . i made a simple example of my problem, and that works without any issues. the trouble is obviously in my large mess of a file… somewhere.
whatever happened at the time, the issue made me implement a fuller and better preset system.
