Excellent - nothing to do then. My favorite kind of dolist.

Wait - this is embarrassing, it seems that the left outlet still spits out the number of samples when there are no destination arrays so I should be golden…
I probably need a weekend. Sorry for the Friday night noise.

Yep, I can think of other reasons you'd want to know the size of a soundfile in a Pd patch without having to read the whole thing in.

I forgot is even simpler (no need for an array)
Oh la la this is embarrassing. I didn’t know one could not supply an array… but that way I don’t get the size of the file in frames.
Are you doing stuff that "soundfiler" doesn't? If so, it would be better to add to the soundfiler object than to add a new object with its own name.
Indeed Miller I’ll do a PR to add it at the end then. I get everything else with soundfiler
For info, I need the size of the sum of my sound files in frames and in channels to allocate the right size once. I do that in Max and SC doing 2 passes, once to read the headers and accumulate what I need in both dimensions (and capture the SR at the same time) then I assign then I read and copy. For large corpora, this is useful.
So the proposal is not so big and bold as my first email… but still a needed feature.
