i wonder whether it would be possible (with Pd>=0.42) to create a patch that creates a gui-plugin on the fly. if this is true, then you can already do everything that [file] allows you to do - and much more
yes, but [file] will be extremely useful in the "-nogui" and libpd contexts.
yes definitely. and much more. i didn't write [file] to write exploits but to be useful.
BTW, and about the "exploits", I'm wondering if this would be feasible to implement a safety lock callable from a libpd based application, that would restrict the write permission (of every Pd object) to a given list of directories.
we could probably restrict `sys_open` and friends. however, externals are free to *not* use `sys_open` so that could be easily circumvented.
