Hi, Maybe an idea would be a help-menu entry that says "go to this patch's page in the Pdpedia", that detects the frontmost window's patch name (this must be possible, since [getpatchname] does it from within Pd). It could filter out the -help.pd part, and then it would work for object helpfiles as well as just open abstractions (and would make it easy to add Pdpedia text to an object, since visiting a nonexistent page in Pdpedia gives you the opportunity to edit it).
I wouldn't mind trying to do this.
Cheers Luke

I really think this should be done by hand, and every pdpedia page has to be fixed together with the help patch (right now all the texts/comments of a help patch were just dumped into the pdpedia pages). then you can give the patches a good layout/design. and there must be relevant additional information on the pdpedia pages for it to make sense to link to the pdpedia pages. pdpedia is not well mentained right now... I would like to see "link" in pd-vanilla. but don't know if that counts, because I also would like to see a lot of other objects in pd-vanilla... marius.

Hey,
I want to add links to all of the help patches in SVN to their respective pdpedia pages. Ideally, I could check these into trunk so that they would become a permanent addition. The problem is that the link object is not included in pd-vanilla ([pddp/pddplink]).
Who does not want this checked into trunk?
