HI,
I had a try on implementing tooltips, just commited to CVS. Feedback is welcome.
Generally youonly have to add a description what every inlet does in your abstractions:
|inlet frequency|
the only problem with this is, that signal-[inlet~]s (and of course [outlet~]s) already make use of the first argument. it is the up/down-sampling algorithm.
so i think your idea (appealing as it is) provides inconsistency, and it will grow worse, as people might get used to putting comments as arguments into objects. i think a better solution would be a) from the GUI side: add a comment to any object via the right-click properties. b) from the pdfile-side: throw away pd's file-descripting language and finally make it xml. this would make files much bigger, but human-readable, which would be a great improvement.
just my 4 cent.
the tooltip idea is great
