I like "info" too, maybe [pd info(. I like Jonathan's ordering because it also makes it easy to have a default receive symbol, so :
Miller said "object", so I'm assuming he meant [info] (though I don't think anyone else agreed that it would be the right approach).
Benefit:
- [info] would have a help patch, so it would be easier to document, plus avoid
the confusion of the pd receive symbol with the [pd] canvas
Benefit of [; pd info(
- easier to code, plus it fits nicely with the extend implicit set methods katja
mentioned -- [; pd dsp 1( etc. (i.e., using the currently existing methods to set attributes)
Maybe others have benefit/drawback ideas?
[;pd info(
would dump all the info to:
[receive pd] | [route info]
Then you could also specify specific things to request:
[; pd info dsp(
would dump:
[receive pd] | [route info] | [route dsp]
As for GUI-related things, I think 'pd-gui' should have its own 'pd-gui' receive listener, so you direct GUI-related stuff to [send pd-gui].
I agree these should be separated.

Unfortunately I already used the name "get" for something else
but I
agree this should be an object, maybe 'get-info" or even just
"info".
It could get and/or set info about the canvas it's in as well as about other canvases (by name) and Pd globally.

Hello, would this method provide patch window size and position?
[; pd get size pd-mpatch.pd rcv_name( [; pd get pos pd-mpatch.pd rcv_name(
now we are getting close to why i think using "get
<rcvname> ..." is
better than "get <verb> <rcvname>"
but of course jonathan and roman are right when they say that this is not something you would ask "pd" about.
