Someone should try to write a segmented patch cord plugin, that would be a great test of the plugin idea for the new GUI. I'd be happy to help someone thru the code, and make any reasonable changes. I suspect it'll be hard to work around the fact that the .pd file format doesn't include a place to store the segmented patch cord data points, but I think it could easily be handled in a separate, parallel file. It could be like the .pd is the HTML and this other file is the CSS.
i have wondered on few occasions if segmented data could be stored after the 'connect' message, is there something hardcoded that only accept a connect selector with a list with 4 floats? would adding more floats break the file format?
