Yep. At the moment, I'm thinking of having it take an "open" message to open a file in the OS, a "fetch" or "httpget" or something to open a URL, and a "system" to run a program asynchronously and return its standard output as Pd messages. Maybe also a message to open a program and keep it open so that Pd can send it stuff as input and collect the output. All this would be kicked up to teh Tcl/Tk layer, so none of it would be "real-time". Also high time to be able to get the patch's containing directory using only Pd vanilla. I think there are 10 or 20 other things this object should eventually do! cheers M _______________________________________________ Pd-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-dev
