Hello
I repost this because I could not understand my own title ;-)
I still try to recover programmatically the name of the file (and of the path)
of a patcher. Any pointer welcome
hi, pierre !
just out of curiosity: why do you need to get the name of a patch ? if
you are editing your patch, you should also know its name and could
append it easily to [pdcontrol]'s output.
apart from that: i don't think there's a vanilla way to do what you
want, somebody may correct me here.
the only method i know needs IEMGUTS' [canvasname] (get it from deken)
and an example patch is attached (i also added TOF's [path] for
completeness).
=======================================================================
which brings me to another small issue with PD 0.50 on windows:
when i double click this very patch (pathname has a space) and PD starts
up and loads this patch i get an abbreviated name like this:
NAMETE~1.PD
if i first start PD, and THEN load this patch from the menu, the name
appears correct. this only happens with names that have spaces.
i also attached the same patch with an underscore that gets a normal
filename when doubleclicked.
=======================================================================
on a sidenote:
i think that [pdcontrol] has great potential but is still limited at the
moment. something like a "name" or "patch" message to do what pierre is
looking for should be no problem. but i also would highly appreciate
other querying/setting options in vanilla with this opject, like GOP
status, boundaries, margins (to this day there's no way to get a GOP's
margins !)
miller, what about it ? ;-)
