hi!
is there a way to generate a variable receive object similar to a send via
message box, whose source is defined at load time?
use iem_receive / iem_r from iemlib.
Wow, that is classic Pd development style-- add a tiny feature to an object, but don't actually improve _that_ object. No, rewrite the entire class, prefix the original class name with something else, and add it to the growing pile of externals that duplicate the function of an internal while adding a tiny feature.
I'm not making fun of that decision-- I've certainly used that method to improve the help docs. It's just such a huge waste of time and effort-- I bet Pd-extended includes within itself at least 3 forks of Pd.
