e.g. something like
#X obj 100 100 inlet; #G tooltip reset the game #X obj 100 200 outlet; #G tooltip finished! #X connect 0 0 1 0 #G tooltip here flows the data #G color red
#G (like "Gui") is attached to the preceding "#X" line. i would prefer "#P" (Properties), but this is already taken by the good olde Patcher.
it would be good to hear miller's opinion (once everything has calmed down) of whether there is a chance to get a feature like the tooltips (or my more general idea of graphical properties) into vanilla pd and how it ought to be done "the right way"....
Since there is already an approach to GUI properties in DesireData i'd really like to see a uniform solution. To my mind the DesireData way to tackle this looks promising (maybe because i'm biased, or maybe not).
