Is Your Enhancement Related to a Problem?

The problem is, every time you find a good preset you like, it's a pain to come back to it at a later point. If emulators and games can have quicksave and quickload buttons, why can we?

Your Suggested Enhancement

My suggestion is taking the top row number keys with a modifier to save, and another modifier to recover. Have this auto save to a config file for easy recovery. Bonus would be a key sequence that could show you a list of the saves.

After giving this a little more thought, I propose using ',' to load '.' to save, and '/' to list. I just checked to see if projectM SDL2 had anything bound to these keys and it seems they are available.

Sounds rather like a kind of favorites/bookmark feature, which is definitely a good idea. We'll consider this after implementing the preset playlist/selection features!

Discussion on Discord has brought this topic up again. Once the preset playlist editor is implemented, a new shortcut (Ctrl-f was suggested) could be used to add a preset to a configurable favorites playlist.

In addition to this, the app will also gain the ability to "export" a playlist as files, copying all presets in the given playlist into the target directory no matter where they are located.
