j.fileHandler component

[theod]

this have been discussed during the workshop in Albi 2014 to have standard parameter, messages and returns relative to file loading and saving.

[theod]

[j.parameter file/path @type string @description "where the file is on the disk"]

[theod]

[j.message file/write @type generic @description "set a new file/path to write into or write at the last file if no argument provided"]

[theod]

[j.message file/read @type generic @description "set a new file/path where to read from or read at the last file if no argument provided"] No, we only keep j.parameter path @type string to know which file is loaded. If you need to have a dialog box, you put one in your view… so the read message is uselesss and is not wanted

[theod]

file/edit, file/edit_with ?

what am I supposed to do here ? review all models with file loading and change them accordingly ?

[theod]

I would say yes but as it it a lot of work I would split this issue in many ones each time this way of handling path have to be done (and tag them under a dedicated a milestone)

I’ll be taking care of this for the stereo audio models. I’ll also take care of it for surround audio models once I get to porting them.

apparently this is done in the only file-loading video model : movie% (which is used as a submodel in input%-), so once you're done with the audio and surround models, this would probably be OK, Trond

should I move that into 0.6.1 ?

[bltzr]

AFAIK there is just:

• filePlayer.parametersAndMessages.maxpat that should be updated (by maybe changing j.parameter nextFile/open name's to nextFile/path) that needs to be updated : I just did... please check that I didn't break anything...

I have changed the name of the open parameter in input= from open to path, so it's done and you don't have to think about it when you'll be porting it

then I'll move this to 0.6.1

[bltzr]

maybe we should just simply close it if there is no other place in which action is required ? (but I'm letting it open until at least another person checks it)
