[PD] Array List View

[Jonathan Wilkes]

I did some revisions on an abstraction replacement for the listview button in 
the array dialog.

Rather than hook into a button buried in a dialog, I'm going to just throw theabstraction in "extra" somewhere.  That's about as discoverable as it currently 
is, plus one could use it as a control in a patch if they wish.  But the best part 
is that it requires zero code in the core/GUI, opening up revisions and 
bugfixes to anyone who can write a Pd patch.

Improvements welcome, as well as shorter abstraction name (as long as it's 
obscure enough not to clash with anything else).

 That's just a matter of creating a single number box and connecting its output to [s $0-offset].
Well, there's bounds checking, too-- the point is it's all just a Pd patch so you're unlikely to crash Pd by revising the functionality.  Plus the barrier to entry is much lower than the small number of people who can untangle garray-related spaghetti code.

 That looks good Jonathan. In current array list view the entries are grouped per 1000 and arrows let you switch groups. For 'large' arrays (say one second of audio samples) this is inconvenient. Maybe your patch approach could even provide a better solution, like the option to select a specific range.

There's also method 'arrayviewclose' which I sometimes (ab)use to close a list view from within a patch. You don't want to try update an audio array list view in real time!

I don't know.  Something like this with the guts hidden?
I didn't do the hard stuff, like handling out-of-bounds elements if the 
array isn't a multiple of ten-- it's just a prototype.
So, in that method you and katja are abusing, I can forward the arrayname 
as well as the current $0 count.  Then I can open the patch and immediately 
send a message to the relevant $0- receiver, and the patch will populate the 
value table accordingly.
And then I can get rid of all the arraylistview C/GUI code that's scattered about.

 A Pd patch with what in it?

Would you mind if this opened a Pd patch instead of a tk dialog?

Could be OK if the list is editable, like current array list view.
