Inspect JSON on a .vcv file

Is it possible to manual inspect or edit the saved JSON for a plugin I’m working on. I’m tying to debug something and seeing the saved json would be helpful.

If it’s just to inspect/debug a particular module, what I like to do is just to Preset->Copy the module in Rack, and then paste that in a text file. You can edit it there, then copy it to clipboard using normal means in the editor, then Preset->Paste it back into the module itself in Rack. If it’s the whole patch, then I think you need to decompress the .vcv using zstd or something, but I have never tried it.

Its just one module. Thanks, that’s way easier than I thought it would be!
