That's nice feature of Pd-l2ork.
If you want a notification when using tabwrite/etc., well, when those
objects receive a message to update the array, just manually send
a bang to "arrayname_changed" when this happens.
Yeah, you're totally right. If I'd build a self-enclosed patch, this wouldn't be an issue. The goal here is to create an abstraction able to keep an instance of a table in sync over network. I would like to avoid to design it in a way, that forces the user of the abstraction to actively notify it about changes. And since I also want to track manual edits, I need some kind of a watchdog anyway. So I still go for the watchdog solution, until the Pd-l2ork features make into Pd.
Can you guarantee that [tabsend~] will never be sending to that array?
