Personally, I even prefer the status quo to the proposed use of $0. It is cumbersome, admittedly, but I'd rather miss a feature than using a feature that fully breaks the logic of the whole. Roman
Hello
It should be possible with some tcl magicks to turn $ found in message boxes to # or @.
That also means that externals like gridflow wouldn't work anymore with this message system because it already uses # and @.
Also this could drive to the introduction of a new variable into a patch for getting pd version that has been used to write it, and then unfortunately for devs, something more complicated using an historic library containing rules to retrieve the good code.
I don't know the implications of introducing some wizard that rewrite code into patches for backward compatibility, but the idea looks seducing for me because it might break inertia that makes the GUI still looking like patching in the nineties.
Sorry for the cynicism but it's truely a joke we sometimes share when it's about pd interface.
