Hello,
Thanks for this. Out of curiosity, what's the main difference between [loadbang] and [initbang] for use in abstractions (does [initbang] not send a bang when you open the abstraction file for editing but only when you load it in another file)?
[loadbang] fires after the abstraction is loaded and connected into the containing patch, so [loadbang]--[outlet] should work.
[initbang] fires after the abstraction is loaded but before connections are made in the containing patch, so you can create i/o-lets and have them still be connected.
Also, the [namecanvas] helpfile says it is obsolete -- is it likely to disappear?
It's only "obsolete" because it's possible to crash pd if you use it incorrectly. I think it'll stay if enough people use it :)
if this would be a sufficient reason for obsoleteness, some other classes would reach 'obsolete' state as well for sure: [until], [makefilename] (probably more).
