Ok, a couple of questions before I get deeper into the revisions:
- Should help patches be tailored for font sizes other than 10?
It might be feasible to do this for size 12 fonts, but it will make patches look worse at size 10. For example, to accommodate 12pt fonts, paragraphs and comments to the right of objects will have to be given more padding, which looks awkward at 10pts. If there's no padding, objects and paragraphs will collide when you try to enlarge the fonts.
So far, 10 points has been the standard for a while. It seems like a
lot of work to change it with only a minor benefit, IMHO.
- The "description:" comment isn't long enough for some of the
descriptions, which I think are already reasonably short (e.g., czero_rev~). It would fit without the word "description", but I'm guessing this would cause problems for the future search functionality that's been discussed. Any ideas? I could just duplicate the description in the pd-meta subpatch but that's kind of awkward.
Hmm, can't think of a simple fix for that. On one hand, having the
word "Description" on the header is cumbersome looking, on the other,
its easily parsible. I say it would be good to remove the word
"description", then it can still be reasonably parsed by using the x,y
location.
