<div>Hi all!</div><div><br></div><div>I am pleased to announce that I just released the first working version of pd-fileutils (<a href="https://github.com/sebpiq/pd-fileutils">https://github.com/sebpiq/pd-fileutils</a>) which is a node.js package and a command-line tool for fiddling with pd files.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Right now, the command-line tool only allows you to render .pd files to SVG, but expect more functionalities in the future (I am open to suggestions).</div><div><br></div><div>If you know JavaScript and node.js, you can also use the API for scripting operations with your pd files. Right now, it can only parse .pd files to a standard JavaScript object, which you can then manipulate easily with JavaScript.</div>
<div><br></div><div>This library is a by-product of the WebPd project (<a href="https://github.com/sebpiq/WebPd">https://github.com/sebpiq/WebPd</a>), which aims at running Pure Data patches on the browser.</div><div><br>
</div><div>It is also a proposal for an alternative file format for Pure Data, based on JSON. There was a discussion about that on pd-dev : <a href="http://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-dev/2012-06/018436.html">http://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-dev/2012-06/018436.html</a> and I would like to start it again ;)</div>
<div><br></div><div>Cheers!</div><div><br></div><div>Sébastien Piquemal</div><div><br></div><div>PS : there will definitely be bugs, so don't "hesitate" to report them :)</div>
