I like "info" too, maybe [pd info(. I like Jonathan's ordering because it also makes it easy to have a default receive symbol, so :
[;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]. .hc On Nov 17, 2011, at 12:13 PM, Miller Puckette wrote: > Unfortunately I already used the name "get" for something else but I > agree this should be an object, maybe 'get-info" or even just "info". > It could get and/or set info about the canvas it's in as well as about > other canvases (by name) and Pd globally. > > cheers > Miller > > On Thu, Nov 17, 2011 at 03:12:08PM +0100, IOhannes m zmoelnig wrote: >> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- >> Hash: SHA1 >> >> On 2011-11-17 15:09, IOhannes m zmoelnig wrote: >>> On 2011-11-17 14:53, Patrice Colet wrote: >>>> Hello, >>>> would this method provide patch window size and position? >>> >>>> [; pd get size pd-mpatch.pd rcv_name( >>>> [; pd get pos pd-mpatch.pd rcv_name( >>> >>> now we are getting close to why i think using "get <rcvname> ..." is >>> better than "get <verb> <rcvname>" >> >> but of course jonathan and roman are right when they say that this is >> not something you would ask "pd" about. >> >> fgamsdr >> IOhannes >> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- >> Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) >> Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ >> >> iEYEARECAAYFAk7FFjgACgkQkX2Xpv6ydvRjGACeKhVGEDtrXIhGi3tZlmLBpVYx >> nkwAn1JsM8C6tVj95ZTHCAAhbz0d7A1z >> =XrRZ >> -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- >> > > > >> _______________________________________________ >> [email protected] mailing list >> UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> >> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list > > > _______________________________________________ > [email protected] mailing list > UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> > http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Access to computers should be unlimited and total. - the hacker ethic _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
