I understand the argument, but for me I read it was ‘for graphics’ - it was limiting until I understood it was not just for that. > what you mean with dummy? [append] needs at least one float to be declared That is what I mean, in this case I just need key -> float array, neither of them would be able to trigger a creation of a new item. This is why [text] is my new friend, although it won’t help with nested lists and arbitrary dictionary style structures. I’ll find a way. > if you're into consoles full or red letters. :D I’m trying to behave so the 2 proposals you put are great. > I guess so far no one predicted that a scalar could have no variables at all. I am aware I’m bending the concept of struct. It was not meant to be a dictionary, especially not with nested ones. >> the question I now have is for people developing externals Is this list the right place for that question? I would like to be able to read and write [text] and [struct] declared in the patch within my externals but I don’t know if that is possible in the API. Thanks again all for the help. p _______________________________________________ Pd-list@lists.iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> https://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
