hence asking if there was a native version/hack. I’ll look at Alexandre’s abstraction, that might do the trick.

Please let me know, and if it doesn't, let me know exactly what you need so I can maybe help and provide a solution - it's here by the way https://github.com/porres/pd-else/blob/master/Abstractions/Control/dictionary.pd and hopefully you can get the binaries from Actions ( https://github.com/porres/pd-else/actions ) or compile it yourself.
 
The idea would be to be able to dump fluid* status (mlp for instance) in text, edit, then load them back. This has been seen as useful on other platforms, so I’m trying to find a way…

BACH library for Pd. 

now, that is a fun challenge ;) I was talking to both Daniele and Andrea about this in the last year… it would be a fantastic addition obviously but I don’t envy the person who will do that job

It's not an actual port of BACH, we're just doing it our own way. It is inspired by it of course, and it's called "BHACK", see https://github.com/EL-LOCUS-SOLUS/pd-bhack it's kinda almost ready to be included into ELSE ;) - Charles Neimog is doing all the heavy weight lifting by the way...

Cheers

did you have a look at the purest_json library, does it help?

Dear all

Apart the fact that flucoma releases (and nightles soon) are on deken (hurray!), I am slowly getting back in trying to add the last bit missing to our interface… but the lack of native dictionary style file/data structure is not helping us to keep the structured (json style) states of objects simply yet programmatically editable (like in max and supercollider)

here is an example of one of our user’s clever use of the text object despite its limits

https://discourse.flucoma.org/t/way-of-modifying-state-of-fluid-robustscale-in-puredata/2717/16

now I know there are “pd structure” magicians on here, and maybe someone has had the idea to create a sort of hack to parse json files, or even general dictionaries of associative key-values?

Ideally, I’d be able to access those in the C api… but a temp json file is also possible on the way, we do that with SuperCollider anyway.

any pointers (pun intended) welcome
