definitely. the first question i hear from people using netpd/pd the first time is: 'how can i type spaces?' yet i decided to not add
another dependency for netpd just because of this rather silly restriction.
but since it seems, that the lack of spaces is really troubling users,
i am unsure, whether i should change that policy.
I think it would be awesome to have a real IRC or Jabber client in Pd
and use it in netpd. That's why I am writing the tkwidgets library,
so that we can have nice, familiar, OS-native widgets in Pd. netpd's
chat would be a great test case for the new [entry], which isn't
written yet, but wouldn't take long. You could try [tkwidgets/text]
it works pretty well now, and is quite customizable (there is still a
couple bugs tho).
.hc
since one can even open a file containing spaces in the path from
pd, it would actually make sense, if symbolatom would support that. i can't think of a case, where supporting spaces would break anything (or am i overseeing something?). before i change my policy about using externals in netpd, i would like to ask (probably miller?), if there is a chance, that symbolatom is changed accordingly in the future?roman
