to follow on from a previous thread,
how does the settable send work in pd 0.40 (i haven't installed it yet)
if it is just like:
[set x( | [send y]
then, won't this break backwards compatibility? i often use [send] to pass set messages on, particularly for example when using [tabread4~]
no, luckily it is not like that (even though people kept requesting it :-)) (that is exactly what i was referring to in my sidekick on "set"-able sends)
it is like:
... [symbol newname( | | [send ]
that is: if your create a [send] object without(!) a send-name, it will have a second inlet which can be used to set the send-name. whatever(!) you send to the first inlet (including "set bla") will be send to the receiver.
so you can seafely upgrade to 0.40 (and you really should do so; it is very nice...)
