Hello Oliver,
is it possible to add the name of the knob to the knob (surface), like you can do with a H-slider e.g.?
mmh, it's possible. but it would make the knobs uglier for sure, which would defeat the purpose ;-))
i myself use mostly small versions of [ol_knob] that would become an unreadable mess, if they all showed its remote name.
about the vanilla GUIs: yes, you can print its send/receive name, but mostly people use the label for user hints. meaning: a slider that's labeled "volume" is likely to actually have a different, more cryptic s/r name, like "$0-vol" or "pl1_v".
if i should ever really forget what the remote name of my own UI is, i right-click "open" it (after all it's just a PD patch with a GOP) and have a look inside. it's written in a symbol box and of course also in the window title bar (1st argument)
another thought about this:
how about a "safe" area on the knob surface (let's say the lower-right corner) that prints out the remote name in the PD window when clicked ?
best

Just for clarity reasons?
