[PD] turn abstractions into subpatches
hi all, just an idea: This would be a feature I would like: Turn all abstractions used in a patch into subpatches, replacing the $1's in objects inside by the actual assigned numbers or arguments. That way you could more esily distribute a patch as one file. Tim ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list

It doesn't work with objects that use t_canvasenvironment, such as
GridFlow's [args], but also, [canvasargs] and other similar things...
whenever an abstraction looks up its own dir or search path.
the exact quote, from the g_canvas.c definition:
struct _canvasenvironment {
t_symbol *ce_dir; /* directory patch lives in */
int ce_argc; /* number of $ arguments */
t_atom *ce_argv; /* array of $ arguments */
int ce_dollarzero; /* value of $0 */
t_namelist *ce_path; /* search path */
};

That way you could more esily distribute a patch as one file. Tim I think it would be much more useful to have the [pdddefine] functionality that Luke Iannini proposed back in 2006. (Just search the list for pddefine to see his proposal.) One of the reasons I like this idea is because one could immediately use one-off abstractions in a new patch without having to save anything. The bundle file type discussed in the same thread would also be very useful. -Jonathan ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
