How could I retrieve the compositionName property from a VuoImageFilter object in Cocoa ? ( It seems to return an empty string , but the compositionDescription property returns the expected string ) .
How could I edit the composition information ? ( I can access it from the Edit menu , but it doesn't to be editable ) .

Don't know about the cocoa stuff- but to edit composition information (in the .vuo file) simply open the .vuo file in any text editor and edit the description field.
The compositionName property
The
compositionName
property returns the@brief
line in the composition header. But, since compositions currently don't have a@brief
line unless you manually add it, the function generally returns an empty string. (Perhaps it should fall back on the composition's filename.)We're planning to change Edit > Composition to make the information actually editable, enabling both the composition title and description to be edited.
