In continuation of other recent threads, I really think that saving a
few characters is not worth it. Pd becomes much more usable, and
patches are much easier to understand if whole words are used. Then you
need only understand English rather than Pd-english on top of that.
Ok, considering your point below: when one file is used for all guiobjs
then it makes more sense for it to be "general".
They are all so similar, I think in the long run it might be better to
try to make a unified editor with a selector for specific GUI objects.
Then there is only one patch to maintain, and improvements on one
automatically get inherited by others.
[cnv-edit] worked 'out-of-box' for me on sliders and such, but some of
the mappings were different. What about a unified patch that has a
selector for specific objects that need different mappings?
that might be a better idea, the differences aren't that big. I guess it
won't remain as direct as one abs for each guiobj, but it will make things
simpler. Ok, I'll keep doing it that way.
I can check in your patches to CVS if you don't want to do it, but its
better if you maintain your code there.
No, don't worry. I only meant that I should familiarize myself with the
process.
blahblah-help.pd is the standard reference filename format. There are
still quite a few patches using the old format, but I am rallying to get
people to change that. The Pd-extended installers have all patches
converted to blahblah-help.pd as part of the build process.
ok. I didn't knew why, I had the idea that it was the other way.
joao
