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
