Ah, that's cool! That's cleaner than I thought it'd be, I thought it'd be some kind of ugly hack. It would be really awesome if you could edit the file and have the object automatically updated. That would be a lot harder. I suppose using the file alteration monitor stuff in GNU/Linux and Mac OS X, you could efficiently get notification whether the file changed, but polling might not be so bad. I guess the hard part would be re-registering the object with Pd. .hc _______________________________________________ Pd-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-dev
