I would quite prefer it, if the comb one gets renamed. It will irritate users coming from languages like Csound. (It did irr. me)
Sounds good to me. [reson~] from Gem/cxc was relatively buried and undocumented, so I can't imagine that it got much use.
Hi,
Well, I don 't have to say that I think that the work you are doing is very valuable. For the externals that get trashed, I suggest that instead of renaming them (which would only be of any help if someone wants to use them in a new project). ....
... we just put them in a new folder "deprecated" (or the like). The advantage of this is that people who have old patches around using these objects can select the deprecated version just by adding a path to that folder, and they don't have to rename objects in their old patches.
The order pd searches for externals (abstractions) is:
*) externals come first 1) in local directory (dir of the patch) 2) in the path 3) in the extra directory
What do you think ?
