Re: [PD-dev] missing file from pd-MAIN and fftw version

Hallo, Tim Blechmann hat gesagt: // Tim Blechmann wrote:

i can think of two ways to implement a namespace:

• a property of the canvas
• a |using| or |import| object

the first solution would be a contrary to pd's design principle (as written by miller in the pd docs, §2.6.2. persistence of data).

If you refer to the "patches should be understandable in printed form" principle: It's already violated as you don't know, which [prepend], [urn], [scale] etc. is used in a patch when it's only printed.

But, yes: This would be worse, if you wouldn't even know, which [+ ] object is used, depending on which namespace is active.

However I don't want to be forced to write patches like:

[pdcore/float] | [pdcore/mult 2] | [pdcore/osc~] |\ [pdcore/dac~]
