Feature Request: "write" and "read" without path name opening the file GUI.

[zomoipotoi]

Please tell us what you were doing! You can include code and files by drag and dropping them into the text area.

Hi, I'm using Flucoma on Pure Data and noticed that "write" method on MLPregressor is available but do nothing.
I've checked code in MLPRegressorClient.hpp and I noticed that method 'write' is not implemented.
Since I'm not at all a c++ expert, I could be wrong. In this case sorry for the noise.

What was the expected result?

The expected result is that, in Pure Data, I can save to file regressor data.

What was the actual result?

Now, in Pure Data, if I send message "write" to fluid.mlpregressor nothing happens.

What operating system were you using?

Windows

Operating system version

Windows 10

FluCoMa Version

1.0.6

as per documentation, the write message needs to be followed by the path. on Max we managed to use the app's file GUI, but we didn't in Pd. @weefuzzy did we explore that and it was just too complicated?

in the meantime, @zomoipotoi write the path and you're golden. I'll change this thread to a feature request.

No memory of this, sorry. If there's pd API calls that get us the dialogue boxes, then we can look into it.

Hi, many thanks for the prompt answer.
I'm really happy with the solution you proposed: write the path.
I've tested it just now and it works.
I've also tested yesterday using a path pointing to a non existent file and it didn't work. Today I've created the file before to click "write c:\xxxx.json" and now it is working.
Thanks a lot again for your great work!!!
Bye

oh it is strange that writing to a non-existant file doesn't work. that would be a bug. let me test that.

[zomoipotoi]

Sorry... I tested again now and it is working as expected!
Maybe yesterday I used a wrong path.

here too, so we're all good. If we find an API call to support a dialogue box for file browsing we'll check - but I just looked and I couldn't find it in the API so don't hold your breath :)

[zomoipotoi]

I'm very satisfied with current situation. I don't really need the dialog box, I only need the possibility to store data and reload data when the patch is opened.
So I'm breathing deep now, starting using mlpregressor in true projects and exploring better your library, trying to understand more complex objects available.
