Decided to try out some of the brand new nodes that came in Vuo 2.2.0 by using the Make Text Field along with the new Display "Open" Window, Display "Save" Window. So far I really like them! Super useful!
This is more of a demonstration than useful app at this point but maybe you can pull it apart and use it in a project or something. Have fun!
Be able to just fetch and render saved Vuo Protocol Files.
QC had a "Render in Image" thing if I'm right.
Also, a Vuo Composition Vuo Type, so that we can scan folders for them to pickup random ones, and drag and drop them on window compositions and fetch their URL's.
Propose a directory scanner....scans a directory and returns a list of files of a particular type, say audio, movies, images ...
I have generally used this to create randomness in compositions, saves hard coding content, or simply stepping tough a number of digital assets.
Similar to the "Directory Scanner" patch in qc.
"This patch scans a directory at a given path, possibly recursively, and build a list of the image, movie or composition files it contains.
The directory path is considered absolute if starting with '/', relative to the current user directory if starting with '~', or otherwise relative to the location of the Quartz composition file if available."
A node for loading structured data from file, URL, etc.
Imports: XML, JSON, CSV, TXT, etc. for parsing
Filters: ability to filter structure data streams
Multi dimensional: ability to have nested data (not just 1-dimensional lists)
Could go as far as ability to connect to DB's but that's probably pushing the complexity of this feature.
