I don't know any solution off-hand and I also don't know whether Pd was designed with the possibility in mind to read patches with [textfile]. I just want to have it mentioned. And yes, it does break some of my patches (not that this would be a reason not go forward and change Pd's file format).
since my personal preferences for those "," appendices to objects go into the direction of using them for messages that the object itself can understand(e.g. #X obj 100 100 readsf~, open foo.wav;
Those uses would not interfere with each other as your example would actually read:
#X obj 100 100 readsf~, open foo.wav;
(mind the backslash)[1].
Also, the escaped commas do not cause any troubles for Pd file parsing. It's only the new non-escaped commas that do.
) i'd rather vote for keeping "meta"-messages (e.g. those that tell the GUI-renderer which color the object should have) separate.
e.g. #X obj 100 100 readsf~; #G width 10;
Yeah, why not? This wouldn't break anything, at least.
oh btw, i really don't see a reason to use cryptic 'f' selectors, when we could use meaningful names like "width".
Agreed.
What is Miller's stance on this?
