Any chance this could be improved in the GUI somehow?
The improvement is called [array define] ;-) [table] is legacy and shouldn't be used in new projects.
Generally, use a graphical array if you need the array to be visible, otherwise use [array define]. The latter still allows you to look at the data (e.g. for debugging purposes), but the properties menu is completely disabled. Also, contrary to [table], you can save the content with the "-k" flag.

Dear list,
Reading from its help patch I understand that [table] actually creates a graphical array inside a subpatch. The table help patch canvas-help.pd says that the table data and properties are not stored with the patch (despite a flag being available in the properties menu). This has confused me quite a bit, trying to find the reason why data is not stored despite the checkbox being ticked. Any chance this could be improved in the GUI somehow?
When I create a graphical array from the put menu and place it into a manually created subpatch I can save its contents. Now I wonder why this behavior is different?
Thanks for all explanations! Peter
