My guess is that it'll have to be a combo of moving Pd 0.43 to the
DD approach and rewriting the DD code to fit into 0.43. It sounds
like you have 'pd-gui' saving the file using Tcl code. It should be
possible to port that saving code to C and have it part of 'pd',
and that would then fit into the existing code much easier.
Well, no, or originally not. Ctrl+s is still done by server-side
savefn. What you are replying to, was about how the server uses
savefn to send stuff by sys_vgui. There are additional layers such
as sys_mgui, pd_upload, gobj_subscribe, gobj_changed, manager_class,
but basically, savefn sends by sys_vgui.
In desire.tk, I did add the ability to turn a client-side object
into a pd source line (#X obj ...) but that was much later in the
project, when I added the ability to copy client-side objects to the
system clipboard (so that you can paste into a text editor...). This
feature could also be used as an alternate way to save to disk, but
it's currently not used like that. That feature was called
"deconstruct" internally, because it produces the arguments that are
needed to construct an object identical to the original, thus it's
an opposite of the constructor in that way (but I could have named
it savefn too).
Would the easiest first step be writing a single, complete escape
mechanism for the pd <--> pd-gui communications?
The first step for achieving what ?
The first step to achieving fully escaped pd-gui communication and
file saving/loading so that all chars are valid. Are you interesting
in working on this? It would be a huge improvement, and I will
definitely help where I you want me to.
