hi, since we have the undo possibility now, maybe it is also easier to destruct/cut objects. would be great to hear about a new feature, i do not know about so far??? i searched the mailing-list-archieve and found some discussion about this topic, but not a real answer. in detail i am starting to create a (lets call it) step-sequencer and would like to have the possibility of add/delete "channels" dynamically. so i will have a bunch of messages which create the objects of the channel (or simply a gop) but i also want to implement the possibility of deleting them again... so i know the name of the object(s), but also the object order-number (which i already use for connecting) and for that i would like to use a message like "destruct object 77" or "cut object channel5". i ran into several problems using the commands find and cut,... first i cannot send these in one message (the searching is to slow, so there need to be a delay, which i have no guarantee, that is will work correctly) and second the patch window is "blinking". which is ugly. all alternative ideas are welcome!!! marius.
hi there,
You can delete objects by sending messages to the canvas, it's very slow but it does the job. Here is a short example of the content of a message box: ; foo.pd find ObjToBeDeleted; foo.pd cut
The object ObjToBeDeleted in window foo.pd will be deleted when banging the message box.
