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Also, the [namecanvas] helpfile says it is obsolete -- is it likely to disappear?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 :)
Thanks,
Matt

search pd-list / pd-dev for info, dunno if it exists yet.

Hello,
Is it possible to send messages to (or within) a particular instance of an abstraction, in order to dynamically change the number of inlets and outlets, e.g.? If so, where do you send the message? If you send it to the name of the abstraction patch, it seems to change all instances. As an example, imagine implementing something like [gate] as an abstraction.
Thanks again,
Matt
