well, just to take up this blurb again...
wouldnt it make a lot of sense to have a mechanism for naming certain objects, i.e. "send", "receive", "state",... either with a $1 as argument or an inlet. i am thinking of "real" instantiation of sub-patches...
or is something like that around anyway and i just overlooked it...
thats just what came to my mind while doing subpatches, lately...
best, gert

the thing with the $1 works fine, if you don¥t mind to imagine thousands of jodeltable-names. Wini mentioned that he¥s heard of $0 returning a unique ID but none of us could get this to work so I think it was just very awful fama. Since (I guess that) each window actually does have a unique-ID, why not make it available to the public (via $0 (?)); this would make "generation" of patches much more easy (and, by the way, the number of myjodeltable, yourjodeltable, hisjodeltable, ... is definitely not infinite !)
yes. anyhow, if you dont refer to tables by name but by connection its all not matter. but the same problem applies to templates. well .. there's an object in max (so ive heard) which does subpatch-generation by replacing a set of given varibale names with generated others.?
its still, how can you change a recieve's name after you ve opened a generated patch ... does it eat a 'set ..'? mumpf
