Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: externals Group: feature Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: IOhannes m zmölnig (zmoelnig) Assigned to: Martin Peach (mrpeach) Summary: automatically "send" lists with [udpsend]
Initial Comment: with this patch one can use [udpsend] to send data without having to prepend the "send" selector to each message. everything that is a "list" will automatically be "send".
e.g. "1 2 3 59" is the same as "send 1 2 3 59" "list /tmp/test.txt" is the same as "send /tmp/test.txt"
reasoning: - when dealing with a lot of messages to be sent, it quickly becomes tiresome and cpu-consuming to have to prepend "send" to every message. - lists are the native type of "data" in pd (as opposed to "commands"); [udpsend]s native way to deal with "data" is to send it (special behaviour like (dis)connecting is done via special messages)
might be that my reasoning is not completely in-line with pd-vanilla (compare the "send" message to [netsend])
if this gets accepted, [tcpsend] should also be modified accordingly

OK,good idea. I changed udpsend, also made the same change to tcpsend, tcpclient and tcpserver.
