Why don't you call it like it is. GridFlow overwrites a name entry in a table. no class is really overwritten and no object is either. I didn't delete anyone's code. I didn't destroy anything in SVN.
First thing, the other day you were complaining that someone posted a quote from you without all informations, my sentence has been cropped after the comma, I was also saying that changing anything in someone else's object would at least need a discussion about it, may be I missed it, and apologize if it's the case.
Even if it doesn't change the code, it changes the behavior, it's completely like rewriting the object.
I also wouldn't like that this door closes as the code becomes more
and
more cryptic, or unreadable, because of the use of too much
elaborated
or just undocumented code, unless someone explains it, as fully as possible.
What are you trying to say, about which code, etc. ? What's « too much elaborated » ?
In what you've explained before, it seems that the call of [print] object involves mystic processes that wouldn't come to our attention if this discussion didn't happen.
"Too much elaborated" would mean that it follow a kind of elitistic way of doing things, like keeping a code undocumented, but in fact I was more thinking about the build system when I wrote this sentence.
Seriously, pd is far from being a professional tool, it's
educational,
always the same discussion...
How much money do I have to make with it before it becomes a profession and a professional tool ? Do I have to wear a tie ?
It's not about of money, it's about uses in a professionnal context, most of pd users have choosen this tool because it's free and has a lot of possibilities, but it doesn't offer quality and stability that a professionnal tool is supposed to have, for me artistic activities is not in this context, or the art is dead.
