 # tc.preset
 
-A [jsui] replacement for the [preset] object in Cycling'74 Max, with extra features:
+A [jsui] replacement for the [preset] object in Cycling'74 Max.
+
+## Features
 - Drag and drop presets to re-organize
 - Display presets as a grid or a list
-- Scrollable
+- Scrollable (requires Max 8.6.2)
 - Shows active preset even if recalled directly from pattrstorage
 - Shows previously active preset, with the ability to ignore preset 0 if it being used as an intermediary step
 - Shows presets being interpolated (using recall or recallmulti)
 - Shows preset name and lock state
+- Outputs active preset name and lock state from third and fourth outlet
 - Ability to rewrite json file automatically every time a preset is stored/moved/deleted/renamed/(un)locked
 - Helps keeping in sync a umenu with the list of stored slotstlet
 - More look customization
+- Same click + modifier key behavior as the vanilla object to store or delete presets
 
 ## How to use
 - Place `tc.preset.js` in the same directory as your patch, or somewhere in the Max search path
-- Create a [jsui @filename tc.preset.js]. You can either add `@jsarguments` followed by the name of the pattrstorage you want to communicate with, or set that later by sending a `pattrstorage` (followed by the pattrstorage name) message to the [jsui].
+- Create a [`jsui @filename tc.preset.js`]. You can either add `@jsarguments` followed by the name of the pattrstorage you want to communicate with, or set that later by sending a `pattrstorage` (followed by the pattrstorage name) message to the [jsui].
-- Connect the [pattrstorage] outlet to the [jsui] pattrstorage inlet
+- Connect the [pattrstorage] outlet to the [jsui] inlet
 
 ## Limitations
 - Resize doesn't work in Presentation mode (jsui limitation)
-- Some messages should be sent to the pattrstorage, some other to the jsui:
+- Due to the way [pattrstorage] works, some pattrstorage-specific messages should be sent to the [jsui] instead of the [pattrstorage]. Some to both: 
-    - `recall`: send to pattrstorage
+    - `recall`, `delete`: send to [pattrstorage] only
-    - `recallmulti`: send to pattrstorage first, then to the jsui (pattrstorage limitation)
+    - `recallmulti`, `slotname`: send to [pattrstorage] first (for better timing), then to the [jsui]
-    - `store`: send to jsui 
+    - `store`: send to [jsui] only
+- The js program send a lot of message to the [pattrstorage] (patch cord not required), which makes it output a lot of messages required for the [jsui] to stay in sync. Using one of the above messages incorrectly, or sending `getslotlist`, `getslotnamelist`, or any message that will impact the presets, it might cause the [pattrstorage] to get out of sync. In case something like that happens, you can send the `resync` message to the [jsui].
+
 
 ## Desired features (for someday)
 - No need for a patch cord (programmatically create a [send]/[receive] pair?)
 - Ability to lock/unlock and rename directly in the jsui without the need of external objects
-- Ability to target a [pattrstorage] in a different patcher level
+- Ability to target a [pattrstorage] in a different patcher level
