Summary: hide object name+args with gop
Initial Comment: the attached patch adds a new checkbox to the gop-properties which allows to "hide object name and arguments". this makes it possible to have long objectnames which at the same time are gop-abstractions with a small width. (i think it is very inconvenient if the minimum width of a gop-object is determined by the object's name and its arguments)
this is related to feature request [ 1491020 ]
I had a quick look: That's quite nice and very useful. Of course it also has the problem, that now looking at a patch and a printed patch won't give away all of it's workings. One cannot even say, if a certain object is of a certain kind just by looking at it (see attached patch: the left toggle in fact is a subpatch). So this feature has to be used with great care.
I think it would be nice if I didn't need to open the GUI dialog everytime I want to edit the object. Something like showing the object name and argument automatically, if an object is selected in edit mode would be a useful improvement.
Other than that: great work!
I attached another possible use for this: myvsl.pd, a vslider whose range is easier to set by arguments then the traditional vsl. This way, Hans could finally make the slider objects with a default range of 0-1 which he wished for several times in the past. ;)
