Well, I made a PR, see https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/1917
The current PR code now works with the current master but not in older versions. You can still use my test plugin which is online for tests and feedback.
Well, the test plugin doesn't work with the newly released 0.54 and was already outdated, so I just removed it. I mentioned I don't have plans or wishes to maintain this as a plugin anyway. The PR has been updated and includes the new additions to 0.54 on the other hand.
I'm doing something similar for ELSE's objects and I've been testing it in class and everything and it all works pretty great.
I'd like to ask other people testing this PR anyway, for general feedback and just in case.
One easy way to test it though is just getting the tcl file, rename it as a plugin and put it in your externals folder.
here's a renamed file for it attached.
as long as it requires manually maintaining a database of any change
in the objects, i strongly believe that the architecture ought to be reconsidered.
I understand the concern, but we discussed it in the PR and no easy and or simple solution came up. So I hope this is considered as is, but further changes can be made later when and if we have the framework for it.
Nonetheless, having to manually edit and keep track of things is already needed for "help-intro.pd" and I've been already taking care of that for the last 6 releases or so, I don't mind the minimal work load addition and taking care of this in my usual documentation branch. This is literally nothing compared to the work I'm having adding 'references' and maintaining them.
