Hi List,
I recently discovered this Patch2Svg add-on. It works perfectly (mac os mojave, Pd 0.50-2).
Working with data structures, I generate many serial drawings that I export to Svg. Basically, I export my Pd-data sub-patch which contains the graphical display only.
I would like to know if there is a way to control and serialize this export operation directly in the Pd patch? Something like [write $1.svg( message, as it can be done with an array, audio recording, txt file, etc.
Thank you in advance.

in the patch2svg-plugin folder you find an "autoexport.pd" abstraction, that will export all currently open canvases as an SVG - and then quit Pd (the idea was to use this in a script).
the filenames are created automatically based on the canvas title and the window-id. (this is somehow tweakable - but not very much).
it's hard to provide anything more sophisticated without also writing an accompanying external (which needs to be compiled for all the archs) - i don't think this is worth it.

Thank you for your answer Iohannes.
I have tried using the "auto export.pd" but without success. My idea was to delete the "pd quit" line and manually use the "pd plugin-dispatch :: patch2svg :: exportall" message by serializing my pd-data sub-patch. But I encountered a long error message in Pd Console (starting with permission denied at runtime) so I gave up.
Finally, I choose to save my pd data (containing drawings) as txt files which I can serialize easily, then reload and export them later manually in Svg format.
