Hi,
trying to reorganize the configuration of patches for distribution to instrumentalists, I'm starting to use the recent "text" object with its builtin editor from within pd rather than editing config files with an external editor.
As there doesn't seem to be a way to catch the closing of the editor window automatically in order to reload the Text object's contents:
It'd be awesome if the editor could get some sort of GOP functionality (an editable rectangular text area with scrollbars on the parent canvas), enabling the implementation of dialog windows with editable text and "ok" and "cancel" buttons in vanilla.
Would that be feasible, Miller?

hi,
(sorry for making this a feature-request spot)
as there are talks about an upcoming new PD release:
there's one feature of the [text] object i'm missing most of the time, which is an "insert" method.
i.e. to insert a new list at a specific line number and shifting the rest of the entries one line up (rather than just replacing the old one).
also the fact that [text sequence] can also work as a global message sender is such an important feature for state-saving concepts ... i think it needs a better and more prominent hint in the help file. i just discovered it some days ago, it's a fantastic but obscured feature.
(looking for a remote sending mechanism inside a help patch for sequencing is not too obvious - even if it says "sequencer/message-sender" next to it... ).

which is an "insert" method.

would make a lot of sense because it would complement the recently added 'delete' method.
a little feature request from my side:
when you set a line with the line number out of range, the line gets appended. it would be nice if the same thing could work for fields. negative field numbers would still replace the whole line, but positive field numbers out of range would append fields. since the operation is currently illegal ("text set: field number (N) past end of line"), introducing this feature shouldn't break existing patches.

Cool, I added a 'text insert' (in git repo; to appear for 0.48). I didn't do anything about appending to existing lines because I think there are many such things you migth want to do so I think it's best jus to use "get", operate on the list as desired, then "set" to replace the line.
