Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: IOhannes m zmölnig (zmoelnig) Assigned to: Miller Puckette (millerpuckette) Summary: bind abtraction-canvas to full classname
Initial Comment: each abstraction-canvas is bound to a receive-symbol, based on the abstraction name, which enables you to send special messages to the canvas (like "vis 1") e.g. [foo] will be bound to "pd-foo.pd";
however, when the abstraction is created with a path-name, this is not reflected. e.g. [foo/bar] will be bound to "pd-bar.pd"
this is unfortunate if you are using multiple abstractions of the same name within different directories, like [foo/bar] and [task/bar] (both will listen to "pd-bar.pd")
the attached patch will modify g_canvas.c and m_class.c to additionally bind the abstraction's canvas to the full classname of the abstraction, with "pd-" prepended in the given example this means, that [foo/bar] will be bound to "pd-foo/bar" and [task/bar] will be bound to "pd-task/bar"
caveat: no ".pd" is suffixed, since the full classname does not hold any file-suffixes. i do not consider this too bad, but who knows.
what for?: i need this for a general framework where people can write their own modules that will be saved within a directory; the entry-point to each module is an abstraction with the same name.

a refined patch "bind2classname.pd.diff" now also adds ".pd" to the full classname, regardless of what the actual file-extension is. it uses addfileextent().
so now [foo/bar] will bind to "pd-foo/bar.pd"
