+1 on this I still find things out re Pd that elicit a facepalm/no-way(you can do _that_) moment. Think we all get stuck in our ways too so little tips/snippets/patterns (or known anti-patterns) would be lovely.
All best, J

after being more familiar with Max. Perhaps it would be good if Pd included a mini "Pd for Max users" guide which starts with execution order differences,
hmm. i'd prefer a "tip-of-the-day". order of execution is important enough that everybody should be aware of it, whether they come from max, vvvv, csound or out of the blue.
i figure your argument is, that most of these have to learn Pd from scratch anyhow and will eventually come to the "use [trigger]" section in the documentation, whereas the max users would just dive into it (as Pd has been sold to them as something you can use your Max-skills with without having to pay the license).
my argument is that people who find tips-of-the-day useful are not power users yet and as such an occasional reminder won't hurt.
