Re: [sc-dev] Re: [sc-users] Why can't SynthDefs be archived?

After looking at Node Notifications and 
Crucial 'Server Node Report', it is clear that one 
can reconstruct the entire node tree of the server by 
n_query of the root node 0 and recursively tracing 
the heads of the children groups (I believe that is 
what Crucial does). 

So, it would be not so difficult to reconstruct some sort
of crash recovery that Ron is describing, at least a 
basic one.  One thing would still help greatly though: 

If the node is a synth, send back an additional argument
with the name of the synthdef of that synth. Then the
structure of the node tree can be reconstructed in it's 
entirety.  One could even then proceed to query values
of parameters of synths as needed.
