With the preset manager the only way to set the preset names is using the list in the settings.
These settings are not on a pin so you cannot use the patch wiring to change the name of a preset.
I know this cannot be using an array since you cannot have an array of strings.
But can we have a method of changing the name of a particular preset in the patch ?
The preset to have it's name changed should probably be taken from the "num store/remove" parameter.
Or even a new "num set name" parameter.
Then we would have a string input and a "set name" trigger.
When "set name" is triggered, the name of the preset should be set to the string value.
Also useful would be switch option "prompt for name". If set, whenever the New or Write is selected a box would pop up to prompt the user for the name of the preset. The existing name would be in there so the user can edit it or just press Enter to keep the name the same.
Thanks,
Simon.

Note: there is a comma-text input and output parameter available when the module has extended parameter selected. The output comma-text contains a list of all parameter names.
So I tried setting the input comma-text but all it did was to change the output comma-text and did nothing to the preset names. It seems the output comma-text is only initialised when the module starts up and if you mess it up by setting the input comma-text, it just stays like that.
So one solution would be to have a new trigger that causes the input comma-text to modify the preset names, and we should also make sure the output comma-text cannot get messed up.

I'll see if I find something to do that. But it's not so easy.
