How about a list of things that are special, and could be put into pd to
make it more special?
- all objects based on "invisible cords" (sends- and receive-based
objects) could have a shortcut to its counterparts like in max. I
personally avoid these kinds of objects as much as possible, but in some
situations they are the only viable solution.
i though max/msp has send/receive too.
- auto-setting size for objects? if you have a gate object with more than
4 outputs (or any other object), you'll need to make some garbage text or
hmm; apart from the fact that [gate] does not exist as an object in Pd, i also thought that it has only one output...
something in order to work with it. since it is quite logical that when
the user needs outputs they should be acessible, an elegant solution would
be to assign a minimal value to the gap between outputs. if the standard
space of the object isn't big enough, the object will make itself bigger
automatically. Although the stretching possibility in max is quite useful as well.
afaik, max/msp has both: the object automatically resizes to a suitable default, but the user can then resize the object to their likings.
is there a place in the wiki or something to put suggestions like these?
one place to put them would be the tracker at sourceforge (create a bug-report and tag it as "wishlist" or "feature request").
btw, i like all of your ideas
