having an approach like this, why use the nova interpreter? if we think
of the other way around ... the gui changes a preset, notifies the
guiconfiguration object, which send a bunch of messages to the |
messagefilewriter| object, to save the configuration file... so again,
the message will to through 3 different threads before it is actually
saved :/

well, but that is a completely different point ... number boxes, like
all other gui objects, should have a gui-configuration inlet, which can
be used to set properties for this instance from the nova language ...
it would also make sense to implement a popup menu like in pd or max,
where the user can simply edit the properties ... 

i would say, let us first try to work on a properties mechanism, and
then on the way, how to load the properties :)

cheers, tim
