Sure, we're working on that, Ben is, actually. But let me be clear to all in here, the "# stuff" is not a feature

But let me be clear to all in here, the "# stuff" is not a "feature". On the contrary. The idea is to restrict the functionality and only use a hexcolor format. This would be easier on the Pd side cause we can check the format for invalid requests and prevent tcl/tk errors. This would also be easy/better for Pd forks like Pd-L@ork and PlugData that don't use tcl/tk, and also for iemguis. In order for not to mess with this and leave as is, unrestricted, I'm not sure it's possible to prevent those tcl/tk errors, and we'd have to add functionality to iemguis so they also take any symbols for colors. for later, ie. fix things but leave IEM guis as is? I think handling > console and other things is best left separately. > I guess we can make a PR with all these requests, with the color restriction for last. The iemguis could be separate and this one should be considered first. If it's taken as it is, then I think it'd also be a no-brainer grabbing the iemguis loading Pd colors as the default. Handling those others separately as well also seems cool. cheers > > On Jul 8, 2025, at 6:13 PM, Alexandre Torres Porres <por...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > Em ter., 8 de jul. de 2025 às 05:11, Dan Wilcox <danomat...@gmail.com> > escreveu: > >> I think most of what's in the color fix PR should be considered, except >> maybe the # stuff for now. >> > > Yeah, I guess this is the "biggest" one and more controversial, and it's > tied to the iemguis issue.
