Agreed - it's always going to be hard to maintain patches that rely on versions of objects that differ from the built-in ones! However, for people who just _have_ to do it, it seems appropriate to provide a way.

Hi all
I can't remember if I mentioned this, but I want to make future versions of Pd allow users to rename built-in objects via the command line so that you could run "pd -rename value sauerbraten" and then load a "value" external without incident.
but wont this make patches much much less portable? if you get used to using these flags, in order to tell someone else how to use your patch not only will you have to have a list of which externals you use, but also which individual objects you subsitute out on the command line.
chances are it will come up that you wont be able to run patches designed by two different people (who have different substitution flags) at the same time in the same instance of pd.-- ________________________________________________________________ live experimental electronic music -- http://bluevitriol.com independent u.s. drum'n'bass -- http://vitriolix.com
