How can I save a certain configuration in a manipulate script (with some slider values and some checkboxes and tabs f.i.), so i can later reload these settings again into the Manipulate (script or object)?
If that is not possible, which would surprise me, how can I save the values of the Sliders etc. into a List?
I know of Snapshot : but I do not need the complete Manipulate script every time, I need just the values of the controls.
Thanks.
Saving the notebook and reopening it should give the last used values. Paste snapshot should give a DynamicModule with the list of current control values. I don’t know of a direct, easy way to reload them, though.
Thanks for your reply, but it is not exactly what I am after.
I just want a List of the Values of the Controllers.
Let me try again, but a bit different 
I have a couple of Dynamic Controls (Sliders) , which I manipulate untill I have a graphic that suits me.
How can I get the actual values of the Dynamic Sliders (the values I am happy with) into a List?
The same for Dynamic Checkboxes, Menus, etc.
What you are looking for is probably the option LocalizeVariables -> False; e.g. try:
Manipulate[Plot[Sin[x (a + b x)], {x, 0, 6}], {a, 0, 2}, {b, 0, 2},
LocalizeVariables -> False]
after this the variables a and b have the respective values.
Thanks Hendrik, this works with Manipulate.
But in a script with Dynamic sliders (not Manipulate), I do not find the correct place to put the
“LocalizeVariables → False”. Every spot in the script gives me the RED warning that the syntax is wrong.
Any ideas how to get the Dynamic variables in a script with Dynamic controls (but not in a not Manipulate)?
You may have to provide an example of the code to explain the problem in more detail. Based on your earlier clarification, this seems to do what you want.
ClearAll[x, y];
Column[{Slider[Dynamic[x]], Slider[Dynamic[y]]}]
Move the sliders then evaluate
{x, y}
Great, Thanks
