Hallo!

however, i am wondering whether we really need the "auto" and "bang" ways of recording. if somebody really wants to do a "stop-motion" video they can well do so via turning the rendering on/off for the whole (sub)tree where [pix_record] lives.

but IMHO that's much less intuitive/user friendly ...

i am thinking of making [pix_record] close to [writesf~], e.g it only takes an "open"-message to specify the filename, and a "start"/"stop" (or 1/0) pair to start and finish(!) recording.

well, I'm also missing this functionality in writesf~ ... so why not use this more functionality if it's already there ?

but that's only my opinion...

LG Georg
