Howdy all,

 

I did give up for a while. The discussion is here:

 

https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/897

 

I still have the relevant code but there was simply too much to do back then
and I had to pull back and put it on the back burner. It's still something I
think should be working in Pd, but maybe restricted to *read* only as a
start instead of me trying to implement full write access.

 

My first focus is to get the sound file updates into a Pd release as we need
CAF and AIFC support for a major project at work:
https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/855

 

Once that is in, say Pd 0.52, then I can refactor the previous meta read
code, otherwise there is no-one stopping someone from writing an external
using something like libsndfile to poop out metadata....

Dan Wilcox was working in the ability of [soundfiler] to read the loop point
within Pd.

In Pd 0.51.1 there was still no change concerning sample loop points -
unless it's not documented in the help file.



Reading and writing loop points outside of Pd is no problem. I've been doing
this for more that 30 years.



However, I need to be able to automatically read loop points within Pd when
unknown samples are being loaded.

So far I had to get the loop points in other softwares and write lists for
Pd to be able to handle them.

This is rather tedious and also prone for errors. One little typo and you
get clicks!



Especially this won't work for simply loading new sample into an existing Pd
patch by other users.



I hope Dan didn't give up on ths . . .
