Hi all, i'm extremely pro-XML, just to say that. On the other hand, i'm also very pro-attributes (like in Max/Jitter), which is a way to simplify/unify inspector stuff a lot. It's fully implemented in flext (and all attribute-enabled flext objects have a respective inspector via the properties menu), but apart from that it would be great to have system-wide attribute functionality - although that's probably a lot of work as well.
best greetings, Thomas

btw, max uses properties too (inlet/outlet `inspector') for that purpose. The text is saved in a patch file as a `comlet' message:
#N comlet <text>; #P inlet <arguments>;
hmm, and the comlet gets automatically associated with the inlet ? Is there a similar example within pd ? (up to now, I think properties are saved within the objects themselves)
that is why i was suggesting a shift to XML ok, i know this is lot of work. but still: the pd-fileformat is very flat, not at all suitable for describing hierarchies of complex objects (like sub-patches) other languages would allow this, and XML is just standard (even for microsoft...)
