- ugly workaround, make symlinks to the same patch so it can be opened
(and then managed) via different filenames or directory names)
- I could add a message to pd or perhaps a startup flag, or both, to
switch the behavior on and off.
- (I doubt this is a good idea) I could make it "0.48 compatible" to open
duplicates.
my vote is #2 !
(that is: both a startup flag AND a possible message to PD to dynamically turn it on/off)
now we only have to decide what the default behaviour should be ;-)
(i personally think that multiple patch instances should stay the default.)
