Hello list,
I have some suggestions for simple vanilla features which might be helpful:
- soundfiler - send a message when a file or an array isn't found. This
would be useful for the patch to process this information (instead of just showing it in the console) E.g. "error file xx not found" and "error array xx not found". This allows to sort out the components using route, unpack, etc. and can be updated to further error types. For now the soundfiler reacts with 0 in all outputs.
isn't this what you want? a message telling you that the read did not succeed? i mean, you can use the 0-on-all-outputs messages to determine on a patch-level that the file couldn't be read.
- in pd extended, when typing in the name of a new object, the key
combination ctrl+return would "close" the object. This is now done by ctrl+e, which serves for both closing the objects and go in/out of edit mode. Currently, presing ctrl+e while editing an object closes the object, but not the edit mode. Is it better to separate these two functions?
well, originally the instantiation of an object via Ctrl+E was just a side-effect of leaving edit-mode. i haven't noticed myself (but can confirm) the behaviour that Ctrl+E does not leave edit-mode when currently typing.
