Miller said "object", so I'm assuming he meant [info] (though I don't think anyone else agreed that it would be the right approach). Benefit: * [info] would have a help patch, so it would be easier to document, plus avoid the confusion of the pd receive symbol with the [pd] canvas Benefit of [; pd info( * easier to code, plus it fits nicely with the extend implicit set methods katja mentioned -- [; pd dsp 1( etc. (i.e., using the currently existing methods to set attributes) Maybe others have benefit/drawback ideas? > > [;pd info( > > would dump all the info to: > > [receive pd] > | > [route info] > > Then you could also specify specific things to request: > > [; pd info dsp( > > would dump: > > [receive pd] > | > [route info] > | > [route dsp] > > As for GUI-related things, I think 'pd-gui' should have its own > 'pd-gui' receive listener, so you direct GUI-related stuff to [send > pd-gui].
