that though.I will. that's true, but the desirable behaviour for a program that
frequently is updated is that it just overwrites itself - skype, firefox,
ccleaner, ...weird tcl/tk behaviour here as well.
what does "libdir_loader: added cyclone to the global classpath" mean?
Pd 0.40 adds canvas-local namespaces. that message means a library has
been loaded into the global namespace.ok. but maybe it might be nice to replace it with something in "english".
it's nicer to users that don't care about those details.
i don't agree. i think, if there are messages printed to console at all, they should be very accurate and use accurate terms. Otherwise more experienced people would have to translate every message back.
i don't like the idea of making things appear simple, if they are not. i still consider pd to be a programming language and in order to deal with a programming language, you need to use adequate terminology. i think it helps everyone and causes confusion less likely (also for beginners), if terminology is consistent.
after all, you don't have to care about messages, that are _not_ errors.
