Can I save comments to code that can be available in further instances ?

Will they be available when attach to code in the future ?

Comments in the memory viewer get saved in a cheat table so if you save the cheat table after making comments they'll still be there.

here's a copy-paste of the relevant portion from my tutorial cheat table (it's essentially an xml file so you can open it in any text editor):

Code:
  </Structures>
  <DisassemblerComments>
    <DisassemblerComment>
      <Address>"Tutorial-i386.exe"+267E7</Address>
      <Comment>You Lose message
</Comment>
    </DisassemblerComment>
    <DisassemblerComment>
      <Address>"Tutorial-i386.exe"+2684C</Address>
      <Comment>Winning Change
</Comment>
    </DisassemblerComment>
    <DisassemblerComment>
      <Address>"Tutorial-i386.exe"+10567D</Address>
      <Comment>%s
</Comment>
    </DisassemblerComment>
  </DisassemblerComments>
</CheatTable>


You can also right click and choose "add to the code list" and that will add an entry to the "advanced options" window (the one accessed from the bottom left of CE's main window). Choosing the "replace with code that does nothing" will also add an entry to the code list (hence why it asks for a name). While these comments don't show in the memory viewer it does provide a way for you to quickly jump to them simply by opening the "advanced options" window and double clicking one of them, here's an example from my tutorial ct again:

Code:
  <CheatCodes>
    <CodeEntry>
      <Description>Step 9 - Losing message call</Description>
      <Address>004267E7</Address>
      <ModuleName>Tutorial-i386.exe</ModuleName>
      <ModuleNameOffset>267E7</ModuleNameOffset>
      <Before>
        <Byte>A1</Byte>
        <Byte>F4</Byte>
        <Byte>F4</Byte>
        <Byte>54</Byte>
        <Byte>00</Byte>
      </Before>
      <Actual>
        <Byte>E8</Byte>
        <Byte>04</Byte>
        <Byte>FB</Byte>
        <Byte>0E</Byte>
        <Byte>00</Byte>
      </Actual>
      <After>
        <Byte>8B</Byte>
        <Byte>83</Byte>
        <Byte>88</Byte>
        <Byte>04</Byte>
        <Byte>00</Byte>
      </After>
    </CodeEntry>
    <CodeEntry>
      <Description>Step 9 - Winning change...</Description>
      <Address>0042684C</Address>
      <ModuleName>Tutorial-i386.exe</ModuleName>
      <ModuleNameOffset>2684C</ModuleNameOffset>
      <Before>
        <Byte>15</Byte>
        <Byte>E4</Byte>
        <Byte>F4</Byte>
        <Byte>54</Byte>
        <Byte>00</Byte>
      </Before>
      <Actual>
        <Byte>E8</Byte>
        <Byte>BF</Byte>
        <Byte>AB</Byte>
        <Byte>06</Byte>
        <Byte>00</Byte>
      </Actual>
      <After>
        <Byte>EB</Byte>
        <Byte>24</Byte>
        <Byte>8B</Byte>
        <Byte>83</Byte>
        <Byte>88</Byte>
      </After>
    </CodeEntry>
  </CheatCodes>


The Before/After bytes are actually the bytes before and after the "actual" bytes being saved to the code list... not sure why they are recorded at all but...
