I already made my one available several times on the list - whenever the question "how many objects are in pd-ext" comes -, but probably it wasn't that popular. 2682 objects? when I check the properties of the extra folder (windows), I get 2666 files - bear in mind that there are several repeatitions (many objects are repeated in flatspace), and other files aren just secondary material, and some objects don't work. did you sort out repetitions or something? how did you extract this list?
I did this manually, a lot of copy and paste. and yes, there might be some duplicates and some unusual objects like all the gemgl objects are in the list...
ah ah, and I thought I was the only crazy guy going through object per object and extract the information (see excel file). ok, maybe we should discuss a more serious way of automatising this.
I've just added the system we use in the RjDj lib to [list]-abs as well. It's pretty simple, but cool: All objects are described in a textfile using this format:
objectname - short object description in one line without commas
In [list]-abs this file is called "list-abs-intro.txt". (It also allows lines consisting of just an integer number, which is used to optionally make room for larger GUI objects in the overview patch.)
A helper file reads this list into a textfile and dynamically patches all referenced objects and descriptions into a subpatch. This patch is called "list-abs-intro.pd".
Ciao
