Restore global cable's last data on DAW load

[iamlamprey]

Another edge case, I'm manually implementing NAM and using a scriptPanel drop callback to pass the file to the node via a Global Cable. It works perfectly fine in a DAW, but if I save/load the project it doesn't restore the model path:

inline function sendNAMCableData()
{
	local path = pnlAmpNAMLoader.get("text");
    local file = FileSystem.fromAbsolutePath(path);
    local json = file.loadAsObject();
    namCable.sendData(json);
}

inline function pnlAmpNAMLoaderDrop(f)
{
    if(f.drop)
    {
        pnlAmpNAMLoader.set("text", f.fileName);
        sendNAMCableData();
        pnlAmpNAMLoader.repaint();
    }
} 

I've tried calling this sendNAMCableData() on init (at the end) like this:

if (isDefined(Amp.namCable) && isDefined(Amp.pnlAmpNAMLoader))
	Amp.sendNAMCableData();function onNoteOn() // nope

I can only assume the cable and/or the panel isn't defined yet, is there a way to force the cable to re-send the data on DAW reload, or just save the data inside the cable somehow?

@iamlamprey the global cables don't have a persistent data model so you need to implement this on your own - the simplest solution would be a hidden panel that stores a JSON that contains the global cable value (and is updated asynchronously when the cable changes).

@Christoph-Hart Lol was compiling exactly that as you posted, working now
