Hallo, Matteo Sisti Sette hat gesagt: // Matteo Sisti Sette wrote:
But if I send such a symbol (containing blank spaces, e.g. the output of
an openpanel) to the following chain:... | [list prepend set] | [list trim] | [ (
then the symbol IS truncated at the first space.
This only happens after saving and reloading for me. I attached a patch that constructs symbols with one and two spaces. As long as you don't save and reload, the symbols stay intact even in message boxes. After saving and reloading, they don't - they simply become message boxes containing ordinary list rsp. meta messages with their elements separated by spaces like everywhere else in Pd. Pd has no way to let these symbols survive saving, so if you need them, you have to construct new ones each time. I guess, one could do a feature request regarding this, but in the end the problem lies deeper and relates to putting a proper string quoting and escaping mechanism in place.
