Hi. I am working on a patch that should develop into a tool that will be used by (hopefully many) instrumentalists/conductors, specially non-pd users. While working on it, I thought that if a non-technical user runs into an error, then he has always to look at the console, which is, for some kind of people, kind of asking too much. (it might already be complicated for some not to present a single-file standalone to work with) Which reminded me: wouldn't it be useful to have an object that could capture the console contents? The main purpose could be to get the error messages (that only display in the console, I think no object sends a bang or something on error). Then this information could be treated in a way to make the patch more user-friendly (f.e. display a designed error message, and consequently how to correct it).
Does this interest anyone? Does anyone want to have a go at it? Afaik there's no object that can do this.
